A short catch-me-up-to-date moment:

Quit job first week of August, a week latr, left for amazing trip to San Francisco. Not so much the scenery, which was interesting, but the people met. See travel journal for full effect. Grumpy security guard, US customs officials, questions, annoying, SF, met host of amazing people, came home, went to Washington DC and New York, met amazing Lyubomira Michelova from Bulgaria, came home no work until November, started at Immigration and Refugee Board 8 November 2004.
