Goodbye Hong Kong, Hello USA...

A lot of folks already know, but I thought I would post it up here so that it is "blog official". I'll be leaving Hong Kong and alivenotdead.com (the company, not the community) for personal reasons and heading back to the United States in November.  My last day of work here is October 31 and I will leave for the U.S. around November 12 or 13.  It's been a fun run here at alivenotdead and in Asia, but it is time to head back to the old homestead.A few people have asked where I will be staying or what I will be doing.  At first I'll be in Seattle for a few days for my sister's birthday, but then I will head over to Idaho to stay with my mom and step-dad for a couple months.  I have a wedding to attend in Southern California in January and after that, depending on a few variables, I will most likely head up to Seattle for a month or so.  Plans past 5 or 6 months from now are a little up in the air, but I will blog if anything major happens in the future.I will be working on a few freelance projects while I am over there.  In fact, I will probably be pretty busy with work as I transition out of things with jetli.com and alivenotdead.com and start up my new endeavors.  But being busy is better than being bored (although it doesn't allow for as much video game playing or DVD watching).Of course, I will continue to be a part of the alivenotdead.com community.  In fact, I can probably start blogging more and putting up more interesting content than my latest injuries or ailments once I stop working here.  Tthanks to everyone I've met here in Hong Kong and all the new friends I've made both on and off line.  I have really enjoyed the experiences, both good and bad, and look forward to keeping up with what you are all doing as I read my blog feeds from the foot of the Rocky Mountains.Take care!  And thanks!- Mark
