My mindsay friends,

Still we labor in our efforts to prepare for our move to China.  There has been much done, and there is much still to do - Sorting, and packing, and de-stuffing our lives.  As well as continuing in the preparation of our paperwork and in planning what we may.  Much time has been spent with garage sales and giving stuff away.  It is amazing that, even as voluntary simplicists who eschew almost all belongings other than books, we have SO MUCH STUFF.  We have grown lax in our vigilance against material goods, or so it seems.

As for here, I haven't much time for blogging at the moment, nor is time foreseen in the near future.  I am greatly occupied on many fronts.  Little issues and things of Great Importance.

However, I still have an attachment to this community.  You are all more than names and faces.  As a whole, all of you are missed.  Many of you have been in my thoughts and in my conversations.  Some of you are missed individually and particularly.  DrunkenOso  has kept me up to date on what he is able. 

I do not know where I am going with this blog, or with this community, as it pertains to my future endeavors and hopes in Life.  The future and what it holds is unknown to me.   Even moreso now than at any other time.  However, I will do my utmost to give to you as I may in the due regard of our community and friendships.  I will write some more, and in greater detail, in the next few days.

Peace to All of You.
