I’m alive and well, too well perhaps. That is to say, when life is satisfying, I find that I have much less to write about. And if blog silence is any measure of happiness, I am deeply content.

That said, I apologize for having disappeared into the nothingness. I do have thoughts bumping around in my head, things that I wish to discuss. Such as my theory that tico culture is inherently passive-aggressive. Or the homesickness that has crept up on me… I miss the smell of autumn! And the peacefulness that I’ve found in my life, largely thanks to a simpler and slower lifestyle. There are so many things, but I currently lack the energy or drive to write them. Sometime soon, I hope to revive this blog (if there’s anyone still reading, of course), but I first need to knock down my writer’s wall, block by block.

In the meantime, I extend my apologies to all, and thank you for your patience.
