I just finished my sixth last day of work for the summer. Yes, that's right, I'm counting the days. Next week Friday I will be finished with cleaning up other peoples' messes, and getting ready to drive my newly aquired vehicle (bought from my parents) to British Columbia, the land of eternally green winters. Hopefully sometime between finishing work and leaving for BC, I'll also get to see my dear friends, Andrew U., Marcia, Claire, Cheka, Corrine, Dena, Andrew K., and Jenna (anyone I missed?) in the Mini Mini Apple Ous (shall we make more definite plans?) Dena, when are you coming back anyway? Where are you Dena? Does anyone know where Dena is? I seem to have misplaced her somewhere between Sioux Center and Edmonton. Ah, a summer of mindless work has curddled my brain.
But I continue to be fascinated with the Middle East. My most recent interest is Afghanistan. I read the _Kite Runner_ which was excellent, and then decided that I needed to learn more about Afghanistan. So I read a book about the refugees in Pakistan during the time the Soviets were invading Afghanistan. (There are still 2.2 million Afghani refugees in Pakistan.) And now I'm reading a book about how the Taliban came into existence. All very interesting stuff, and I'm beginning to understand the some of complexities of the situation. What are you guys reading?
I feel like it's about time for a trip to Barnes and Noble. Yes that's right--B&N holds enough entertainment for a Friday night for me. There are so many books--I can't get over it.
I love you all. Miss you all. Hope to see some if not all of you soon.

Margaret, yes we should make definite plans. When are you planning on coming up here? Maybe Andrew K will come too, since I just missed him today.
I just finished the fourth Harry Potter book - I started the first one two weeks ago and have been captivated ever since.
That's all.
i'm around whenever. sorry i couldn't get a hold of you andrew. i almost stopped at your house, but ran out of time.
Well, Marcia G is the one who started the thinking about being in Minneapolis. She's dropping off her brother, I think. I can got up either on the weekend, or Tuesday afternoon (but have to be back by Thursday because that's when I'm leaving.) Maybe we should email about this, eh?
