i have been meaning to write a new post for a while, if for no other reason than to stay in practice. Two main thoughts have been occupying my mind. First, my child. My Daniel, my Alison. He is not doing well. The Crohn's medication is not working and the doctor is switching him to a different medication. I still have my issues with gender identity as you can see. Parenting never ends.

Second, is my future. We have been talking about me taking a year off and doing a walk about. It looks like the best time would be to move it up to September 2019. I am thinking of starting in the Stans and moving west toward Europe and the middle east. That would take about four months, then Tanya and I would head to southeast Asia for her sabbatical. Nothing too definite yet, just casting around for ideas.
