Hmm. Where should I start?
There are some things that seem always on my mind. And others that are more transient. You can find out which are which by clicking the '
always' and '
now' links in the menu. I've turned the 'now' section into a blog. I add to it when I can, to give a snapshot of my life as a psycholinguist and occasional human being. I suspect I'm the only person who reads it, which is fine, as I write it for no one but myself - a future self who will come back and read about my life as it is now. When I moved to Connecticut, my time suddenly was no longer mine - I can honestly say I've never worked so hard in my life! But it's exceedingly satisfying. However, one by-product of having less time is that my blog is overgrown with weeds and I do need to venture back and re-establish it.
There's also a kind of 'essay' on my experience of my first two years of
Karate training. It was written in 2005, It's still an accurate reflection of why I did it. I'm about to update it with a section on why I stopped training. It was a hugely difficult decision, but the right one. This said, my training comes with me each and every day, and I am eternally grateful to my two Senseis (teachers) for showing me 'the way'.
Finally, it does amaze me that I've managed to avoid saying anything anywhere about the good fortune I have to work with the people whom I work with. I guess they wouldn't want me to overdo it. So I haven't. But they are on my mind often.
