Our September was nice and warm. Not hot, but warm and muggy. Nights were cool, but still very humid. Beginning late last week, the weather has finally turned and it feels like fall. Cripsly cool nights and bright sunny days. Fall is probably the best time of year here in South Korea. Soon, it will be time to take a few pictures of the foliage as it turns from the the lush greens to bright yellows, oranges and reds.

Lately, my time has been occupied by some serious bike riding. I had gotten a nice layer of fat built up over the spring and by my birthday in July it was intolerable. I bought a bike then and have been riding it pretty hard ever since. I’ve slimmed down considerably, but not enough – when I wore a suit for the Chuseok holiday two weeks ago, a belt I had worn for years would no longer fit.

I’ve also been reading the news sites vociferously since the financial crisis began. The news here is filled with it, just like everywhere else. I, personally, am not in favor of any bailout, but rather a free market correction. Reading the news at least goes faster than watching since I read fairly rapidly.

Between working, riding, reading and living in wedded bliss these days, I seem to have little time for writing. I’ll try and do better than I have lately.
