from "The Boxer" -- Simon & Garfunkel

On 03 September, the sojourn begins with 2300 miles across an ocean to the Great Beyond. Perhaps someday when the wanderlust has been exhausted i shall return to this archepelago to which i was born and to which my roots cling. Perhaps someday the words here will reflect S&G's "Homeward Bound."

There is much i will miss once i'm gone, but there is much too that i will miss if i stay. So for now, "I am leaving, I am leaving, but the fighter still remains."

Check back often, since i will be posting much more frequently than before, in order to keep everyone updated with the goings on, along with photos. Meantime, take care of yourselves, take care of each other. Aloha!
