either/or

I’ve had this domain for a few years, and i’ve never really been consistent about blogging. It takes so much out of me to sit down and blog at the end of a day at a keyboard.

However, dear reader, (or future reader, because nobody really reads this blog - yet), i’ve decided to start doing something about this. It’s a season for change. I quit my job last week. I paid my last rent check. I’m packing up my family and moving to Argentina. We leave on April 22nd and head from Seattle to Buenos Aires.

I thought that with the number of people who have asked about our plans, it would be good to just start blogging about the trip. But there are a lot of expat blogs about Buenos Aires out there. With New York Times articles just about every month, the BA trade is oversold.

Will I be consistent about blogging?

Will I be able to integrate my as yet unfulfilled goal of a blog worthy of the Kierkegaardian name ‘either/or’ with the banalaties of bourgeois expat life in south america?

What unique angle of expat life in Argentina shall I explore?

Why did we decide to move to the Southern Hemisphere just in time to catch another winter?
