Hello! I'm still here.

Nothing super exciting going on, but life is quite good. I'm doing some volunteer work tomorrow night for Basic Rights Oregon ... then on Wednesday evening I'm meeting up with daddicade for a couple of beers.

The Arabic is coming along nicely, I've got a good handle on the grammar and can read all of the dialogues in the book without much difficulty. Now to bring the Persian up to speed.

In about two weeks I'm leaving for another visit to see The Next Generation in San Francisco. He just got back today from vacationing with his mom.
