There are some new folks here, who I have not "officially" introduced myself to during the recently past upsets and all. So here I am!
I am originally from the US, living in the great city of New York for 8 years before moving to Asia in 1990. My home is in Thailand, and my heart is here as well. My partner ( a Thai guy called "Man") and I have been together a bit more than 10 years now. Man is 32 (altho he looks much better ppreserved than that, and I have pictures to send to prove that to anybody who asks for the one on the boat...hehe) and I am a Geezer of 51.
I originally found A Place of Safety about three years ago, when I was working in Hong Kong (a difficult and lonely period of time for me, as I was there more than 5 years cuz we needed the salary. Man and I had to live apart much of that time, making due with holiday visits and occasional other trips). This place and a couple of other ones made my solitary and work-driven life in Hong Kong more bearable. I moved back to Thailand on July 1st, and if you go back to earlier pages here, you can read the count-down to my leaving Hong Kong there...everybody here was great putting up with me during that period, let me tell you!
I've made good friends here through the years. That's the most important thing to remember about this place. The friends. Even if you don't feel friendly to everybody, there's enough friends here to enjoy the place without needing to fuss about the others most of the time. And there is much good to be done with people coming here needing all of our support and help.
I love jokes, like smith does. I love to post movie quote pop quizes from time to time, and will have another one of those coming soon. I love to talk about life in Asia, as it's very colorful to say the least. I love to talk about my life with Man. I love that this MB has so many other International people on it from so many walks of life. I love to write fiction as well as read the wonderful stories. (And yes, Timmy, my chapter of Robin IS under way, and the outline is complete at last...hehe) I love that this MB has so many young people here, as they are amongst my best friends here and help keep me feeling young. I hope they all come back out to play soon!
Like I said, I will be posting more in the near future, but wanted to say a new hi to the new folks, and a new hi to the old friends I may not have spoken to for a while!
Soooo....HI!
