Personal – 8 May 2011

I’m back from a month’s trip to the USA from New Zealand. While I was there, I saw many friends and family as I traveled up and down the west coast from Los Angeles to Seattle.

Sharon and I also competed our divorce while I was there and the process was fairly amicable. So, after 20 years of marriage and of being best friends, we’ve ended our legal ties to each other. I sincerely hope we can remain friends as we move onto what lies ahead of both of us now.

Here in New Zealand, the earthquake damage in Christchurch continues to get sorted out. Yesterday, for the first time since the days immediately after the February 22 quake, we were allowed back into my apartment. I was lucky with my unit. I’ve got a lot of large cracks in the drywall (or gib board as they say here in New Zealand) and some broken crockery. But some of the others I looked at are far worse. But, the good news is that they are apparently going to repair the complex rather than demolishing it.

I’m not going to say much else here of a personal nature. If anyone wants to know anything more, drop me a private line.

Cheers!
