Inevitable Return

Upon speaking with my esteemed colleague this evening--a discussion in which I was kindly reminded that this particular site still exists--we stumbled upon a rather primary understanding one should hold while digesting our writing: while from time to time we may foolishly wander into more serious discourse, never forget that our purpose here is anything but serious.

With a flourish of trumpets, we welcome the absurd.

This particular week finds me exhausted from a whirlwind of activity. I have found what I can only hope will be a rather humble abode for the next year. My transition from the West, I pray, will be easy enough. A new culture. A new city. Apprehension? Hardly. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. My colleague was sure to impart the following wisdom, however: Having lived in the West, I now know freedom.

To be certain, this can only make my return from exile that much more insufferable. Expect updates as warranted.
