It looks like the Man in Japan is well on his way to losing his euphonious pseudonym. Heck, I may have to start calling him by his real name if I can’t figure out something that rhymes with New Zealand… On the other hand, it may be easier to take a more Nelsonic approach and slap “Formerly” in the middle of things.

\nIt’s kind of a sobering thought for me. My whole life, I’ve lived in just two places, both of them in the same state. I’ve had the same full-time job for the past 10 years, and it evolved out of a part-time job that I’d held for the five years prior to that. Meanwhile, he’s quit his job and is prepping to move from one foreign country to another.<\/p>\n
On the other<\/b> other hand (not the one holding the word “Formerly” in the first paragraph, but a third, disembodied hand), there are a couple people that I knew all the way back to grade school who never left the town I grew up in. Heck, one of the kids I used to have schoolyard scraps with recently sold a new refrigerator to my folks.<\/p>\n
At any rate, The Man Soon To Be Formerly In Japan has a couple weeks of gainful unemployment that he’s (so far) enjoying the heck out of, and then he and his are off to the Land of Zed. Kudos & Congrats!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
