Homecoming

I arrived home late Sunday and have been quickly reacquainting myself with things American. Today's activities seem to have solidified my re-entry: I spent several hours in the DMV becoming a Virginia resident (lapsed DC registration, blah, blah, blah); and I got a pedicure. Yep, those are my feet in the picture... just be thankful I didn't post the "before" shot! It is a losing battle to try to keep the feet clean in Cairo.

It feels weird to be back, but mostly it's good... After three months of wearing the same things--which were chosen for function, not form--I am especially enjoying opening my closet in the morning. Other things I'm happy about: quiet; green grass; my electric toothbrush; Jon Stewart; coffee and bagels; running outside; Dino (if you don't know who this is, you really don't want to); and family and friends... I missed you so.

My life will be decidedly less exotic (or entropic) in the coming months, so I expect to be posting less. To save you from having to check in, I believe it's possible to have blogspot send an email when I update. Drop me a line if you're interested. Oh, but do stay tuned for pics from the various upcoming weddings...
