I enjoyed blogging and getting to know (and sometimes meeting) many readers of this blog.  It has been exciting to swap stories, memories, and/or share interesting thoughts on social and structural change in Okinawa.  Even the debates I had with some readers were deeply meaningful and helped me to shape stronger narratives and/or consider alternative ones that were more insightful.

I have taken most of posts down now and made it accessible to only family members for now.  There are multiple reasons for doing so and it may return as a fully public site in the future but for now, it will remain mostly semi-private.

Many thanks for stopping by.
