Going to the US March 19

It’s hard to believe that except for a day shopping in Ft. Lauderdale during a stopover that I haven’t been in the US in over three years. I had to check this site to remember when. I still can’t believe it. What am I forgetting, besides everything these days?
Well, my best friend there is having surgery, and I’m going to hang out with her and do some stuff before the surgery and after she’s fine alone. Despite having nothing pressing to do there, I find myself looking forward to visiting people, buying some things that are expensive or unavailable in China, checking our my rentals and eating Western food for a while. It’ll be fun.
As you can see, I don’t write much when I’m not on the road. Last time I went anywhere was Nepal. Nothing much has happened since then. The news is just plain boring, I think. Life’s good, though. I am fairly domesticated, still, which feels alright. I can and do go places every three months, and that keeps me from feeling trapped.
I am leaving March 19 and returning April 20. Maybe I’ll have something to blog about next time. Until then, I was just checking in. Be well, all of you.
