Now that I'm out of the house, I suspect he's going to sell the place and move to greener pastures-- somewhere not so laden with sad memories. That's too bad; it would have been nice for the house to have remained in the family, given all the sweat and effort that went into improving it. I may be wrong, of course; he might choose to remain right where he is. But I doubt it.Kevin Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328790917314282058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-15328852826409079512010-11-26T00:11:00.519+09:002010-11-26T00:11:00.519+09:00Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, th...Maybe I just haven't been paying attention, though I swear I read your blog every morning while I have my tea, but where is your dad this Thanksgiving?<br /><br />Anyway, have a happy one.

While only 176 feet ( I don't know the metric or South Korean coversions--also don't know what the North uses either), it has room for eight eight adults to slumber, although four of them will have to climb ladders and crawl into the two lofts.<br /><br />Also, to cut back on energy usage, I've jettisoned a full-sized stove in favor of <a href="https://www.nuwaveoven.com/flare/next" rel="nofollow">this</a> modern marvel.<br /><br />What really sucks is now I'm being pulled towards both the West and East coasts for awesome job possibilities. I just don't think I can live in either NYC or LA again with compared to the tranquility of my less than 200 person hamlet lakeside in Texas. I leaning towards being poor and happy in Texas instead of dealing with the craziness of living in both LA and NYC and then paying crushing state income and federal taxes in either California or New York. It also helps that the taxes on my new home will be less than $50 a year which go to the county, school, and hospital.John from Daejeonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08431973044799010218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5541500.post-51798914359787835712010-11-25T08:47:08.872+09:002010-11-25T08:47:08.872+09:00Thanks for the shout out.

I wrote that thing on Tuesday, let it sit for twenty-four hours, and then rewrote it, and I still don't know if it says what I want it to say.<br /><br />Sounds like a nice place you've got yourself there. I assume you have invested in a shotgun and plenty of rock salt to keep the kids off your lawn. Oh, and you'll want a rocking chair for the porch, too. You have a porch, right?<br /><br />"Seoul was great for eight years, but one thing it lacked was any opportunity for true solitude."<br /><br />Yeah, and you can't even run away to the mountains for solitude either, because they're crawling with people, too! The convenience is nice, but I do miss the quiet of a simpler life.Charleshttp://www.liminality.orgnoreply@blogger.com
