Today's title is a reference back to my first post on this blog, which had to do with a train named Olig Snush that Ari had created from plastic blocks. A lot has happened since Olig Snush and his friends Blueberry and Ari Pierson Kanter (the plastic block train) were chugging around our house in Seattle when Ari was 3 years old. Weirdly, Ari resurrected some make-believe play tonight about Thomas the Tank Engine and some of his friends. But generally those days of trains and plastic blocks are gone, and we live in a world of Legos and Peter the High King from The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe and make-believe that includes scenes from Gumby and Pokey videos (from the 50s through the 80s) with bits of knights, pirates and Space Police mixed in. And to put it in the words often found narrating the adventures of our newest companion, Captain Underpants - To Make A Long Story Short: We moved. To New Zealand. Oh, and before that I quit being a lawyer and went to work for Seattle City Light in the Conservation Resources Division, and Evan became the President of the Board of Physicians for Social Responsibility and did various time-consuming academic things and spent a lot of time on the phone and in meetings on top of seeing his patients at the VA. And now he has quit that job, and together we agreed to spend a year in Wellington, New Zealand where he is working as a psychiatrist for the Capital and Coast District Health Board.
So I'm not going to go back and fill in on all the various shenanigans that have happened in between our old life and now, although I will include the writing that I did on our getting-to-New-Zealand adventures in Bali and Lombok that has been languishing in my documents folder the past many weeks.
