I can hardly believe this year has flashed by the way it did. At this point last year I was packing up to relocate back to Arizona, after a fantastic year in Seoul, Korea. Man, how I miss that place! I know now that if the conditions were conducive, I would move back there in a heartbeat. Living in Arizona has lost its appeal for me. I'm here because I have to live somewhere and work somewhere, but I can say now that this is not the right place.
Sue and I have accomplished a lot though. We both are working, bought a home, and have settled in about as much as any normal couple could be expected. I'm teaching Shinkendo through one of the local city parks and recreation associations and am enjoying it very much. I have always liked teaching, and this give me the double satisfaction of doing something I like and introducing new kids to the art. It's a great oportunity for me.
The most significant personal accomplishment we made is to restart ownership of a retail web site. You can find it at Artha Gallery. A long time friend (who in fact I have yet to meet in person) had this site and offered it to me to take over. Sue and I had considered cranking up a site, and when this chance was placed before us, it seemed like the right opportunity at the right time. We shall see. We don't expect to quit our day jobs any time in the near future, but it may offer us some other way of saving a little more money for the future.
