Safe and Sound


I’m back, I’m safe, and I’m so happy.

You know in the movies when someone has a near-death experience they see everything with a new light.  They smell the flowers and marvel at the beauty around them.  I’ve been doing that since getting back.  My amazing wife brought Mt. Dew and Rice Krispy treats to the airport when she picked me up, and they tasted wonderful.  My bed is the most comfortable bed in the world.  And get this, We’ve had power and Internet ever since I got back, it’s amazing!  :)

Ok, I’ve got a lot of unpacking to do.  Both literally and figuratively.  I’ll try to post some of my more interesting video when I get it all sorted out.

    Hey nothing like Mt. Dew and Rice Crispy treats, maybe you should leave and come back more often? :) I’m happy you made it back safe and sound. Did you get to blow off any fire works? (I see you posted this on july 4th)

    Yeah, we lit off quite a bit at my parent’s house. It was good stuff. Ate even more RC Treats and Dew there. :)

    It was great to read your blog. Welcome back! Not having internet/cell phones is bad enough. I can’t imagine not having power too. (When Akiko and I were in the mountains of Japan I almost got sick when I didn’t have internet access.)
