Military Service

The day finally arrived. On a cold winters morning I got up extra early to drive George to Main Station. And so starts his 11 months of military service. I can’t believe the day finally arrived. I hate goodbyes, but I suppose it is not really a goodbye as he will be back most weekends. It’s just going to be the first month that’s going to be brutal. Anyway, this gives me a chance to catch up with some reading and movies and, maybe even start up the much needed Chinese lessons that I have been constantly avoiding. As part of the reason for moving to Taipei was for exactly that reason I think I should think about resurrecting them. January is going to be a tough one, but as ever, I’ll make it.
