Hello September

I'm just outside of 100 days. I got a little done this week. Apparently I should have notified HR of my plans 100 days ago because it takes that long - 6 months - to get "my" funds together. But it's okay. I have a stash. Everything works out the way it's supposed to and if I have to wait a while, something will come along to tide me over.

I'm rolling this idea around in my head to finally produce Noxsoma Magazine, as a downloadable pdf file for .99 cents an issue. This could be the long-awaited renaissance of AG Magazine realized; which I must say, Noxsoma as an idea pre-dated AG... but that's kind of a complex story.

Less complex, yet no less compelling is how I met Chamnan (Chum-non) or as I've been calling her since I learned how to pronounce her name, Chum-Chum. 

2003 LA, of first time meeting in real life.

We won't go into that now - the short story is, she's getting married August 12, 2017, in Dublin and I have to be there. I've never been before and I have to have a Guinness... and maybe listen to some U2 or something. Maybe I'll have enough time and funds to visit Scotland too... maybe look up some of my relatives.

LA 2009...

Speaking of Los Angeles I need to get my butt out there, end of this month.. maybe set some things up for post-life-in-Philly. Visit with number one son and get re-acquainted with my buddy-in-law.. cuz I forgot dude's name. Met briefly in 2010 and honestly I've been waiting since then for Chum-Chum to tell me they were getting hitched.

Got to spend some time with Ichiban son too.. on the beach.

Los Angeles will probably be the last trip I take before leaving Philly (for good). But since making that declaration.. watch.. something else will come up. I know I'll have to come back this way because no way I'll be finished emptying out the house by the time I leave. I'd better start setting up these global opportunities as well.

Okay.. I don't even know if I accomplished the goal of this post.. I think it was simply to post something up.. Task complete. Hello September...
