I was unsuccessful. Today I found there have been several. I was woefully behind. <br /><br />After having read all of the posts from the beginning, I suspect that (today at least) my own writing will be contaminated by Sean's style. I also realize that it is highly unlikely I would ever be comfortable with my family reading this blog in its entirety. (Darling, I do not want my dear old dad reading any post of yours that contains the word "erection." I do hope you understand.)<br /><br />That realization sets me at ease. The decision has been made. We will merely hide certain of the posts. We may now freely confess away :) <br /><br />That said, I can safely disclose that my own mind has been taken up with dry and logistical matters. Today I may have finally slept enough after visiting the twins. I am nearly free of whatever bug caught me on the way out of LA. I have checked various items off the Sean and Maria to-do list. Addresses have been changed; health insurance approval has been reviewed; money has been transferred. <br /><br />This blog is a story. You noted that it's not so far entirely focused on China, Sean; I think this bit might be pounding the weeds to make the ink that our story will be written with. That, or we are easily distracted. ;) <br /><br />In any event, homelessness has its benefits, but I cannot wait for the two of us to settle down in Beijing.
