This is a Long Time Coming

Greetings and salutations.  It has been two months and a handful of days since the arrival of the beautiful Lidan, a being of supreme loveliness and generosity who has deigned to marry me — an event that will take place shortly.  So why has the ‘blog’ remained silent despite these momentous changes in my life?  For a number of reasons.  Firstly, I don’t know who the hell you are, so why should I tell you anything.  Secondly, I’ve found that my free time has become severely compressed recently (that’s not necessarily a bad thing, just a change), though that has begun to change a little now that Lidan is more comfortable here.

To summarize:  Lidan is here.  She’s wonderful.  It has been a period of transition for both of us — her most of all, obviously — and hasn’t been without rough spots, but life is better, more meaningful.

I intend (ha!) to follow this post shortly with Christmas, birthday and other photos.  And maybe, just maybe — though highly unlikely — keep this website up-to-date.
