You heard correctly.
After days of cabin fever, my addled brain came up with this as the best solution: cut that lost week mired in Hell out of my life by starting fresh right here.
After all, this is where I first came all those years ago, choosing this area along the shore of the ever-rolling waves of ether.
It is only logical that I return here.
My departure from this beach had been rather abrupt, fueled by big changes in my social life.
One of my favorite venues was due to be destroyed, leaving several cultural entities with the need to find new places to perform or disband.
Of course, we all hoped for the best outcomes... but wishing and hoping won't necessarily bring that about.
That's not a bad thing, though.
Other troupes have sprung up, bringing their talents to various stages all around, enlivening my life as a retiree.
Change has silver linings, as I've learned well.
Now, I find myself in need of a new change.
This year deserves a new beginning, and this is where that shall be.
A friend from those early days has reminded me that the Chinese New Year follows the new moon in that lunisolar calendar.
So, I shall look forward to the Year of the Snake, also beginning on this very day.
The Chinese also refer to this as the Year of the Little Dragon.
Little dragon... very nice!
I do so love Dragons.
The photo is of my memento from a vacation in Taipei, Taiwan, in 1981.
Gorgeous little beast!
Happy New Year, one and all... I'm back!
(smile!)
