Back from the City


No updates over the past several days as I've been down in the city with no Internet access. Much has happened, as evidenced by my having only about twelve hours sleep since Thursday. But now that I'm back up in the hills, I've (ironically) got access again, and time to type. And good news! The weather's turned, and finally is sunny. Have a look at the shot above: yours truly standing at the Tsuboi river with Kumamoto Castle just visible in the far distance...

Some wisdom has been acquired during my sojourn. Not little of it from a bit of Shakespeare, i.e...

'Mad in pursuit and in possession so;
Had, having, and in quest to have, extreme;
A bliss in proof, and proved, a very woe,
Before, a joy proposed; behind, a dream.'

'All this world well knows, yet none knows well
To shun the heaven that leads men to this hell.'

Here's to going to Hell and back.

Danm envious of ur pic by the Tsuboi...brought back tons of memories. Glad ur having sleepless nights in the Pan for that we know means just the mission being in country. Send secure comms regarding "local" signed treaty. Will the territory secede from the mainland? Or will a new campaign lead u to don ur black kit and accept black ops, taking names and having the thousand yard stare...remember these words..."Patches..we don't need no stinkin patches"
