a time for planting

South Korea. Find a soccer-field-sized patch of land, and if no one's playing soccer on it, it's gonna become a rice paddy. I took the following picture of a local paddy that I pass by rather early on my walking route (click to enrage):

Hey Kev,

We might (very tentatively) head up to Korea next April (depending on ticket prices) for a final family trip before Josie graduates High School and heads off to uni. Just thought I'd give you a heads up.

Dude,

You know I'm getting old. You're coming up next year in April? I'll likely have forgotten who you are by then. But hey, thanks for the heads-up.

Maybe if I can persuade Mike to visit Korea around the same time, we can go together to the Swissôtel and eat some fondue. That would be creepy: a picture of us in the same poses we were in back in the old days—but now just older, uglier, fatter (in my case), and wrinklier.

Seriously, though—this is great news! I look forward to seeing you and the fam. Mari might remember me, but I've never met your daughters, so that'll be a hoot. I promise not to tell too many dirty jokes.

Josie must be about the same age as my goddaughter, or perhaps J is a year younger. My goddaughter's graduating high school in a few weeks, and she's heading off to college in the fall.
