As it turns out -time to time blogs have a random way of appearing as a  necessity. A few days have passed since my last post -and a couple of projects in different parts of India spanning almost 18 months as well. Writing and analysis is the normal part of my work so it is really easy to get lazy and to forget there is a blog out there that might be historically significant once the grandchildren or God Daughters have their own.
This last month could be looked at as a significant turning point in the lives of the family, and a time for reflection and change.
Kim and Echo graduate - wow - how can this be - those two lovely people who begin the next step in their journey. How I love to see this event - it is such a signal of change fir all.

Echo, who when under two years of age loved to smear her face with bolognaise sauce, and now at almost 24, uses black and green dye to be disguised as a borg for Anime week, knowing full well that her black belt will enable her to keep control of even the odd cyclops who might wander in. I sense that this masquerade is exactly the right ticket to O=hio, Tokyo, Chicago, Me-o My-o. or even "Day- o, Day-o : Work all night to the morning sun...", Harry Belafonte comes fleeting;y into my mind with the thought why.
Anyway God's best to Echo for the next chapter.

Kimbo, who has persuaded her man - the Salad Man- to travel all the way from Kiwiland to sweep her off her feet and take her away to wintertime and such an exciting future, and a birthday on the south side of everywhere almost. Hope they recall that things rotate the other way down there. Anyway, he has assured me that he will take very good care of my little girl - so God's best to them too.

That's not all - wait there is more.

T has moved to her new place, which I've only dreamed about seeing on the iPhone. She and her long-time best friend Ryan have splurged and into a new place, a new set of circumstances and some seriouos environmentally friendly farmer marketing, softballing, golfing and BeeMeWer trips. I think that those two have something special that is hard to find for lots of folks - so God's Best to them as well.

Now James - on to bigger and better things after an awakening of his super set of athletic skills - is getting tired of managing one of the country's busiest cappucino poring businesses in the country for part of every day, He's seeing the light at the end of this tunnel and working hard to see if he makes it into Pro baseball - too small  for the NHL, even though the skills are there -why I wonder was my Great Gandfather a tall Viking or Celt so we had some 6'8' weightlifters  in the family who could skate like Sonia Henning. Bit that's another stiry


So after this hectic week away- or perhapd it was a week at home, which are rarer by the decade - after the week it was back here to dusty, dirty, and now rainy rainy India. Dird I ever tell you about the time .....
