So, for everyone who wants to know, I will be in the Library tomorrow, Friday July 2nd. Unless, of course, a meteor (a rock traveling though space) falls on me, I am hit by a bus, or a rich beautiful woman asks me to fly away with her. The odds on all of those happening are pretty small. It will be good to be back. Life has been pretty dull recently. In fact, I would have to say that this past June might just be the worst June I have ever lived through. So, a new month, and a new lease on life. It's an expression.
I just got back from lunch with friends. One of the things we talked about was the difficulty of long distance relationships. There are many people who have to take a job away from home and don't get to see or be with their families for a week or more at a time. A very long time in some cases. It can be very hard on a family. It seems to be easier for some Chinese families to handle, I think because they tend to focus more on the future than most Americans, and because they seem to put a lot more importance on the value of family. It is still a difficult situation for anyone. But in this economy, jobs are not always close at hand, nor easy to come by. Life is not a bowl of cherries, and jobs, unfortunately, are not like apples waiting to be picked off the tree. So, for my last corny fruit analogy, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Actually, I like lemonade, and I like fruit. It's fruit analogies I don't like.
So, be strong, have hope, keep breathing, and stay out of trouble...
