I arrived at my stepsister Brenda's house yesterday evening, here in Erie, Colorado (sort of between Denver and Boulder). I actually met my niece and nephew, Sarah and James, ages 3 and 5, for the first time. And this morning, I built legos with James for a while — bonding with kids it pretty easy, huh? And then we walked to a book fair at James' school, and I realized there were a lot of books I'd love to acquire and have on hand in Korea, if I decide to go back and teach there some more. I managed to limit myself to just a few books however.
I'm on Brenda and Eric's computer, so I'll make this a short post. More later — I was finally making some progress putting together an Ulleungdo video last night. Maybe that'll get posted, but I'm off to pick up my dad at the airport, now — he's flying in from LA and we're driving back there together via Phoenix where we can visit my other sister and nephews there. So that will give me a chance to spend some time with my dad.
