One year down

I understand my blog posts seem to be adhering more to a Fibonacci number series than to a system of someone who cares, but it was a crazy end to the year. Sorry if I have left you hanging.

After returning to NE and hearing people reference this blog as someplace they are indeed seeking out for updates, I am going to try to check in at least monthly. We'll see how it goes.

One of the perks of working overseas is the possibility of catching a tax break from the U.S. government. If you meet a few requirements, there can be an advantage for me.

So, at the advice of my accountant, I am leaving. Next stops - Ireland (10 days) and after 24 hours in Cairo, Tanzania.

Home is home, and it was great to be back in NE for a short stay. I wish I could have seen more of my friends/family, but it is what it is. Those who I was lucky enough to have met for breakfast, lunch, second lunch, etc. it was really great to catch up.

It's funny, almost everything here seems to be about the same as I remember from year ago, except that everyone's children are getting bigger. Other than that, Amigos is still strangely deliciously greasy, many people in Nebraska still wear red despite there not being a football game for a couple of months, and spiky haired punk rock girls still take out their angst on cheap guitars on main street in Breckenridge. (Yeah, hammer strumming through simple chord progressions while singing "When the sky falls on uh-uh-uss...)

So I'm off. This is short b/c I am slow in packing, will likely forget something, and have to leave in about 15 minutes. It's been fun being home, but it's time to go.

Hopefully will report back soon,

Scott
