Let it be
Posted by: John McCrarey @ 1:18 pm | Filed under: Me, me, me    

Still alive and (mostly) kickin’. I’m just not able to muster the energy to post these days. Other than work and my personal life, everything is going great. But I’m ok.

Short version:

My boss left Korea yesterday. I’m acting Director and one of the referred candidates for taking the job permanately. Que sera, sera.

I’m playing .500 darts this season. Some moments of brillance sandwiched with amazing mediocrity.

I am spending the long 4th of July weekend in the Philippines. I really need a break.

I will be going back to the USA for the last two weeks of July. A week in Massachussetts and time with family in South Carolina.

I don’t know when I will post again. My life has become a bit of joke these days. I really hate being mocked.

The most important things are the hardest things to say. They are the things you get ashamed of, because words diminish them. Words shrink thoughts that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living size when they are brought out. But it’s more than that, isn’t it? The most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal away. And you may make revelations that cost your dearly, only to have people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you said at all or why you thought it so important you almost cried when you were saying it.

That’s the worst I think. When the secret stays locked within, not for want of a teller, but for want of an understanding ear.

–Stephen King
(from memory, may not be 100% accurate. So sue me.)

  1. Just a few suggestions on when you should post next, due to your readers’ needs for knowing that you’re there and doing ok: once after you get back from your long July 4th weekend; once near the end of the MA visit; and either from SC or just after you get back from there. We do need pictures of Gracie, preferably with you, assuming you’ll be seeing the young lady. I’m sure I could come up with more occasions when you should post, but I’ll leave it at that for the near future. :grin:

  2. How about a post every few days saying that your OK? Also, if your driving from MA to SC feel free to stop by for a few hours or spend the night. Your always welcome at the Gates’ abode. You know Ji-Young misses her walrus.
