one year gone
It’s just a little over a year now since we left Grenada. I considered writing an epic post about the cold, reverse culture shock and how diet Coke doesn’t really matter to me as much as I thought it did. But I figured I’d spare both of us that discomfort and instead share a video that Bean and I made just a few days before our departure on March 15, 2009. (Yes, the ides of March. Oh, the humanity.)
It’s not super-special. It’s just me and Bean, chilling on the verandah. Taking a quiet moment together during the storm of our preparations to the States, a.k.a. the land of ice and afternoon sunsets.
You’ll see that Bean looks way younger and had never had his hair cut, and that I’ve got a killer tan. It ends abruptly, but it does do what I hoped it would do, which is bring back in visceral full force what is was like there. Watching it now I can almost feel the sun and the breeze.
Enjoy.

You’ll be happy to know then that this video is more than a year old. Those curls are long gone. See? http://www.flickr.com/photos/piscesinpurple/4482751808/

[...] someone expressed concerned regarding the girliness of Bean’s curls in the video I posted the other day. That video is over a year old. At the time the child was a few months shy of his third birthday [...]
