So this is it, my first Monday with no work! The next month of my life is one long weekend, and I anticipate enjoying it very much. Friday was my last day, and it was grand. It included a delicious lunch followed by a beautiful wonderful fabulous going away party complete with my favorite berry cake from whole foods, cookies, generous gifts, and so many of the people I will miss. Friday night was continued in style with friends, food, beer, and a great show by the guys of the Honey Gitters.
Lots of other things have happened since I last wrote, not all of them exciting, but there were a few highlights. Staging was moved from March 9th to the 7th and from Philly to DC, so I have a couple fewer days in the US lap of luxury. I also made a crazy small world discovery that two people I went to high school with are currently in Senegal serving with the Peace Corps, and doing environmental ed/health no less. That's got to rank up there with the best coincidences. I'm looking forward to there being a couple of familiar faces when I dive into life on the other side of the world.
