Thinking About Running Away

You know, if it weren't for Nick (and college football Saturdays), I think that I might just turn around and go right back to Japan. I'm missing it. I miss the kids, I miss my house, I miss my cat, I miss my car, I miss my office, and most of all, I miss the fall colors. Although my house in America really is the greatest place on earth, no place can compete with the fall colors of the Mura. Sigh...

I guess the only thing that I can do to counter-act these feelings are to think about the things that I DO NOT miss...low speed limits, freezing cold houses, and expensive petrol.

I meant non-living objects. Obviously. If you had read more thouroughly, you would have known that.

And Speedy, you're not even IN Japan. Come on, now.

I have to agree with her cheekiness in saying "non-living?" Everything you said was alive.

Living as in "breathing", yes, but "living" as in "the only thing that was important in my life", no.

If you go back to Japan, can you stuff me in your baggage? Being home is kinda lame...

Erin said...

Listen, Darby, I TOTALLY know what you're talking about. Are you really in Canada? Perhaps a field trip to see you is in order...Never been to Canada before, you know.

A reunion! Yes! Tell me when and where and I will be there...as long as the "where" is within 25 miles of my house...
