Shooting a touch and go

[pecunium]

I'm home. Finally, for the next hundred-hours or so. On Monday, at 0630 I ought to be wheels up on my way to Ukraine for two weeks.

This has been an on again/off again trip. I've been working on the mission since Sept. I've been told I'm going since Oct. Then I'm not, then there are hurdles to be jumped and I can go again (I needed a new Official Passport. That got rejected because they changed the application rules, so I had to re-submit, things like that). The most recent was finding out, this morning, that I don't have a visa.

I am told to not worry about it, and get on the plane anyway.

So, it will be a bit before I get caught up (kate_schaefer I've read your entries, every word, they are no less banal, severally, than some of mine, and jointly they paint, to my mind, a pretty picture, even if I am, usually, against the Oxford comma).

I am told (we shall see what the situation is, on the ground) that I'll have pretty much 24/7 internet access. If this proves to be the case you can expect trip reports, both of this one, and the one just completed.

I'd promise some serious examination of the past three weeks before I leave, but it seems the router at the house has gone tits-up, so I am in a bar in SLO (15 miles away) dealing with the things I had to read before I could pack. If we get it up before I leave, I'll put up more than the next few moments allow.

I trust that I should read "more" for "less", and that you'll have a productive trip. Then again, perhaps I should read "less" for "less", and you're merely being level.

No, you should read more, and I should drink less.

Yo. Sorry I missed your call last Friday. I'll try to catch you up this weekend.
