Sometimes (esp when my *former Company* is in the news), folks surface – who apparently missed out on last 9 years of my life – so, catching someone up, I told them these items:

I struggle with brevity and not sure where you “last left off” so:
- I live in an underappreciated corner of provincial Japan, forever
- Have a darling arborist/jazz singer wife and an adorable son
- Dealing with chronic and complex illness #mecfs
- Making lots of creative projects as all my “archives” are here and a historic barn turned studio {Audio, video, scrapbooks, postcards and now a poetry book underway}
- most of my time is spent folding laundry, washing dishes and taking hot baths
- PS UW is here being his very best self (but chose a strange country to live in for various reasons/purposes ;))
- frequent diaries and personal archaeology at: daveostory.com (you are here) with rss feed & extensive longform personal musings and moderated comments & also postcards
