Dear Dad,
This is, i hope, the beginning of a series that i always meant to write but did not. I am not sure why. Your letters from China were full and strangely objective, descriptive and yet personal. I guess i have a lot of catching up to do with you. We ended up not really talking that much. I hope to figure this out.

The other reason i wanted to write is to connect you with the kids. i think there is a funny kind of flip flopping of time and generations. You took me to Australia. You left Australia. I stayed in Australia. I had Ben and Rollo. I left Australia. Ben and Rollo stayed in Australia. Now, i take J, J, L and A (back?) to the US. I left. They stayed. What's going on here?

Similarly, i want to explore the links between you and Ben, and how i fit into this. i think i will be writing to Ben too! As for David..okay. We'll get to him.

And, what is this thing of me ending up in mining? And, am i really in mining or is this something else?

Please, let's keep this all to ourselves right now. It is good that no one can find this blog!

Well, Dad. I need to go. i promised Kwabea i would help her with her essay. i'll talk to you soon.
