Good morning, America.
Specifically: good morning New Concord, Ohio. The little rural college town I spent my toddler years in before I was dragged off to the Washington DC suburbs.
After about half a year being blocked out by the Great Firewall of China... I'm back in the land of of free and home of the brave. A place where I can write about whatever I want on a blog that almost nobody is reading. Freedom of expression, especially when no one is looking, even if secretly you wish there were.
Here is a new beginning. I've been working and living in China for the past four years. Will there be reverse-culture shock? Homecoming shock? How will it all work? Family and friends, relationships I've maintained digitally, over the phone, during short summer flings. How does it all fit again?
And now... I have my own family. My own wife and household. My own...
Life has changed dramatically for me these past two years. Faster than I ever imagined. Along with that change comes questions, question, so many questions.
Questions make for good writing. Hope I have the time to explore them in the weeks to come.
