Well, the time has arrived. I’m at the international terminal at SFO getting ready to board my flight to Taipei and Kuala Lumpur. Soon I’ll see her! I am so psyched. Now I understand ‘swallowing tiger balm’ from her blog. Wow!
I’m so jazzed and tired and ready to go! Time to lap the airport a few times and stretch my legs.

Many years ago I decided (realized?) that I could talk to my mom thru the full moon. Pretty much every full moon since then I’ve at least said hi, sent my love. I may have missed one or two but I don’t think so. No ceremony, no fluff, just a conversation. It’s completely beside the point Mom has been off this earth for a while.
Hi mom! Love you! Don’t worry, I’ve been taking pretty good care of myself. Mostly remembering to eat. Mostly standing up straight. Not too much booze. Not reading enough nor hiking enough but working on changing that. Having fun with the sailboat. Mostly being tolerant and patient with people. Still trying to make you proud.
Met an amazing woman, but you know that already. I’ve been talking about her the past few moons. I think you would like her and she would certainly like you! She’s not named ‘bonnie’, but that was mainly dad’s ‘requirement’. But she takes my breath right away.
I’d sure like to spend a bit of time rooting around with her though. Lots of time. Hardly matters where or what. I’ve really truly fallen in love with this girl. Do me a favour and have your god friends keep an eye on her.
Alright mom, Tierra o Muerte!
Love, James
