As some of you may recall I am living abroad teaching English in Korea. It was a very tough year but i just finished my last class (EVER). There was more than one occasion that i felt like calling it quits and coming home. I am glad i stuck it out. The good news is i am landing in Sunny Florida with my completion bonus, a Duesenberg Starplayer TV under my arm and a '65 deluxe reverb limited edition waiting for me at my house.
The year gave me a lot of time to think and grow as a person, i have never lived on my own... i went from living at home with my parents to college with friends to a house in Florida with my wife. So this was the first time in my 40 years on earth i was truly alone. And brother, let me tell you stranger in a strange land is TRULY alone. But i wouldn't have traded the experience for anything. Can't wait to plug into that beast of an amp and crack open a freezing cold icehouse. To quote the ever relative Ozzy, mama I’m comin’ home.

Sounds wonderful! Tbh, I can't wait to get out on my own. I might end up renting from my boss and going to a tech school or just taking up the computer thing 7 days a week.

----Danny,

Welcome home. I spent a year in Korea while I was in the Army. I too was glad for the experience, and also glad to be home when it was over.
