Two Months On
I've been back in Texas for almost two months now. Under normal circumstances, this would be about the time I would be getting ready to go overseas again. However, I've decided to stay here for a while, at least a year and maybe longer. There are two reasons for this. The first is, because I've been away for most of the last two years, I feel my career has been put on hold. Those who have come after me have moved on to other departments and seem to be a bit ahead. The other reason I want to stay here a while is that it's been good to reconnect with old friends. No matter how close your friendships are, people have a tendency to forget about you when you've been gone so long. I had forgotten how nice it is to interact with those you have a lot in common with. It's much easier than trying to negotiate all the cultural pitfalls you face in other countries.
Not to worry though, I have enough pictures from past travels to keep this site alive. I can also travel Texas in my new vehicle taking pictures of interesting sites. I'm really looking forward to the downtime.

Good decision, Russell. I know how you feel. Have a nice day. Tomoko
ReplyDeleteThank you Tomoko. Yes, I like to travel but it's nice to have some stability as well.

ReplyDeleteI sure will, Paul! It's nice living here in Texas and there're even Czech cultural sites, German, etc. Europe is just a short drive away!
