Goodbye, June
I haven't posted here since before I turned 40 ("A decade ago," by sportswriter math) but I didn't want to leave June completely blank and July is coming oh-so-quickly, so here's a late month check-in.
Tomorrow morning I am flying up to Nha Trang, where I will serve as the official scorer for the first two days of an international youth baseball tournament organized by my boss. On Monday morning I will fly back to Saigon and will go straight to the office. (Actually, I will probably stop at home and change my clothes.) I'm looking forward to the trip, but I think it will be pretty baseball-heavy and I don't know if I'll have much time to go to the beach or do any other tourist things.
The other big news, which most or all of you already know about, is that I will be coming back to Michigan next month to help the Linebaugh family be duly honored at the Ionia Free Fair, and hopefully do some other things too. Jason and Khoi and Karla will be back too, and it will be the first time we have all been together since... Wow, I don't know. Khoi's wedding? Maybe there was a Christmas in there somewhere. I'll be home from July 20 to July 27. Let me know if you want anything (legal) brought back from Vietnam.
As far as everything else, things are going well. I'm comfortable in my apartment, I enjoy my co-workers, I like living in Saigon a million times better than living in Hanoi. I actually have had a lot of things to write about but haven't been writing. Maybe July will be different.
