Its that time again. I am sitting here pondering life and Laos in LAX awaiting my 18 hour flight to Bangkok. I had a great time in the states and got to see a ton of the country. I also got my fill of golf working down my handicap around 6 strokes over this summer alone. For those of you who dont golf it means that I went from terrible to mediocre. I got to catch up on HBO and baseball. I got to see friends I hadnt seen in years and some I hadnt seen in only months. I got to catch up on all the burgers I hadnt been eating and dark beers I hadnt been drinking. I got to drive a car. I got to drink water from the tap. I spent a long time on planes. I got to use my cell phone and call more that 4 people. I got to watch football. Sometimes in life its the little things that really mean alot. Not great stories but just being able to get back to the normal life. Tom and I have discussed this alot in our hours spent together in Laos. He brought up a great point which I am sure I have written before. There is such an emphasis today, atleast where we have lived, to push yourself out of your comfort zone. What is wrong with being comfortable? Obviously there is nothing wrong with comfort but the push today is to keep going somewhere exotic. I feel like I have lived and am returning to an exotic local and you know what.......sometimes I just want to drink tap water!
So much for tap water. I do like it in Laos and I am feeling much more prepared for this step in my life. But the question is always looming after the national games in December...Whats Next?
I will try to keep the updates coming. Next updates will be coming from across the pond.
