i'm back and i'm up to my ears in work. posting will be light for a few days. between wanting to spend time with my wife, my arabic class, my volunteering to work at the pro-choice pro-chocolate event tonight, and the piles of things both at work and at home that i have neglected over the past 2 and a half weeks while i was away, it may be a few days before i can start posting again.
needless to say, it is good to be back with my wife. i miss the freedom of travel (especially when i look at the pile of papers on my desk at work), and i miss the kindness of total strangers i repeatedly encountered throughout uzbekistan. but i am glad to be here. hopefully, i will have pictures soon
