A Different Routine

I'm on a different routine now, since Wyn left for England to get a bit of British culture, and son Tristan is firmly ensconsed in Japan, teaching English in the public schools of Shirahama, in Wakayama Prefecture.

I put Wyn on the train in Glenwood Springs and she suffered all the way to NYC on the slow, cold, uncomfortable train (whatever happened to the old days of wonderful train rides???). She then packed all her toiletries into her suitcase, thanks to the British terrorist plot, and flew off to England. By the time of her first phone call, she had already been to see the Boshoi Ballet doing Don Quixote, and then was off to France with a friend to spend a few days in Le Touquet. She'll stay in England long enough to see the premieres of the Henry plays in Stratford, then she'll join me back in Hawaii. Boy, some people will do anything to avoid hot ... and cold ... weather! (wink wink).

So what am I doing? Working. Watching my brother build a house. Watching the wildlife. Going on side trips (to Denver for a golf school ... can you believe, my brother actually WON Phil Michelson's putter?). And starting to pack, since I'll be leaving Colorado sometime shortly after Labor Day. Sigh. And read the post above this one, if you haven't already. The animals, the scenery ... wow.
