greetings from the not-so-distant future!

not enough in the future that plutonium is available on every corner drug store and the chicago cubs have a world series winning club, but enough to get to begin my tuesday when the west is still trudging through monday. i'm not sure what this blog animal will become, but i expect it to become a potpourri of comedic takes on my own culture shock, fables of mischief, and other cool stories from my side trips around asia. stay tuned amurrica.
