well, at least one thing in this country is going in the right direction. for the full story, go here
anyway, i am back from chicago. saw several friends two of which have blogs (that i know of. i suspect that henry morof has a secret blog, but he's not talking). the details are funny and yet deeply meaningful. perhaps in a way that none of us can really ever fully understand. i would describe the visit in detail, but i don't want to right now. maybe some of those with blogs already have. who knows? i really have no idea how one could find that out
i really miss living in that city. while i think i have more of a life here now, some of my closest and dearest friends are out yonder. the only obvious solution is for all of them to move here.
i am tired and scatter-brained after a day of the office plus my arabic group (have you noticed yet?). i actually forgot to go to a doctor's appointment this morning. i was supposed to go get evaluated for whatever shots and prescriptions i need for uzbekistan. i made the appointment when i was at work last week and i only wrote it on calendar that sits at my desk rather than my palm. during my fun-filled chicago weekend, the appointment conveniently erased from my mind, until i came into work this morning, glanced at the calendar and realized that i had missed it.
i blame society.
more later when i feel more up to it
