Many goodbyes in 2015

My goodbye from Michigan Beer Growler Company was emotional to say the least, and I’ll say more on that later (it was last Friday). Since then, I’ve had to say goodbyes at my going away party (mostly mom’s family). Tonight was a probable goodbye to Anna, which is/was rough. There’s more to say on the subject, but it’s nearly 3 AM, I’m sleepy, and this is rough to talk about.
In other news, I’m thinking about starting a Japan blog when I get there. Which sites are best?
