Seems like a long time has gone by since I last wrote anything here.  I am kept pretty busy by a wife, 2 dogs and a baby on the way… not to mention moving and just reporting to a new assignment.  My wife and I saw our baby for the first time today, looks like we’re about 6 weeks into this… so far, things seem to be going well.  If all goes well in 7.5 months we’ll be welcoming a whole new human being into this world and into our family.  There are tons of thoughts and feelings flying around but we continue to do our best.

I’m back!   After a year in Korea I have finally planted my feet firmly on American soil and it feels good   Along with that I now have a gorgeous companion – so aside from spending obscene amounts of money, life is good.

I admit I’ve been lazy for the past few months and just now got around to checking my stats for the first time since October and all I can say is whooooooa.   I went from having around 200 hits a day to 20.  I’m not sure how that happened, it is crazy.  Maybe lack of actual updates has helped lead to this downfall of such a glorious blog.  Perhaps it is a bit narcissistic to own your name as a domain name, but I don’t really care.  Maybe I’m not that interesting.  At least not anymore, now that all the life has been sucked out of me by a certain employer.  I cannot wait to leave this assignment, I love Korea but when I go to work I am extremely stressed and anxious and I hate it.  I’m no boy scout, I just do my job.  Ass kissing never has been my style and it never will be so people will have to just accept it.  Anyway, I leave here January 21st god willing even though its nearly 3 weeks later than I wanted.  I’ll just be happy to watch the place shrink from the window of the plane.  I would write more but I suppose I should go to sleep considering I need to wake up at 4AM since I work a lovely 5am to 5pm shift.

Dear Ryan:

Thank you for taking the time to contact my office with your kind and supportive words. It is reassuring and encouraging to hear from those, such as yourself, who understand the issues and the positive impact of a pro-freedom philosophy.

Such active citizen participation, as the founders well understood, is absolutely vital to our form of government and to the preservation of the liberty they entrusted to us.

As I serve in the 110th Congress, rest assured that I shall continue to take very seriously my oath to uphold the Constitution of limited federal powers and work to make ours the freest, and hence most prosperous and tranquil society in the history of mankind.

Once again, thank you for taking the time to communicate your thoughts. I always appreciate hearing from those to whom power is vested by our Constitution, “the People of the United States.”

Sincerely,

Ron Paul
