“Life is what happens when you’re busy making other plans.”
—John Lennon

I’ve always loved this quote. It just seems so appropriate most of the time. We like to think of life as a journey, but for me it’s really more just a lot of lurching from one thing to another, dealing with whatever seems most pressing at the moment. I’m no different from an ant or a bumblebee.

I was going along great with my France postings and had my school assignments and most things in my life under control, when a sudden family emergency meant I had to take a trip down to Albuquerque to deal with some stuff. Things there remain unresolved, so I’m back home waiting to see what happens next.

Now that I’m back, I have a lot of things to catch up on and write about, but my France trip just doesn’t seem so timely any more. I’ll get back to posting some about what I’ve been up to lately, but I just wanted to take a brief moment and try to account for the break in continuity here.
