100!

Sorry for the long lapse...my muse died.

I've actually been in a better frame of mind for the last week, but I ran off to Gyeongju for the holiday weekend (the holiday being Buddha's Birthday), and now have family in town (!), so the time to sit in my apartment and bear a blog hasn't been available. So, my apologies if you're disappointed, but you'll have to wait a bit longer for a "real" entry.

I do need to mark the occasion, though. The name of this blog refers to the 500 nights from the time I last slept in my own bed until I return to it. As it turns out, the whole thing will only be in the ballpark of 460 nights, give or take a bed, since my original plan to backpack around southeast Asia has long since revealed itself to be folly, but nonetheless, as of today, May 27, there are 100 nights left!

88 til I'm again on American soil, 98 til my first night in Rochester, and 100 until I sink into my own soft mattress for the first time in way too long. Still seems interminable, but at least it's starting to feel like it'll really happen one day.

So stay tuned; I'll be back...
