Introduction

I'm not new to this, but I have decided to start fresh, being that I am about to embark on my next big adventure.

For the record, I have not read The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon. I both like the title and it was sitting on my bedroom floor this morning when it occured to me that I should begin a new blog.

Thus, I begin.

I have joined to Peace Corps and will be leaving on the 14th of September, 2005, and shall return on the 9th of December, 2007. Mark your calendars.

They have me teaching English to high schoolers in the Kyrgyz Republic, aka Kyrgyzstan. This should be interesting. To be honest, I never pictured myself a teacher, but I surrounded myself with enough of them in college to have a clue. These "Secondary Activities" are really what excite me. I'm hoping to do something creative. We'll see.

Anyway, I've decided to give this website address to all my family and close friends since most of them have asked me to "keep them updated." I figure, if I continue to do this, I've done my part, so that when I get back I won't have to spend conversation after conversation letting everyone know "how it went." Two years is a while to try and summarize.

Here's my mailing address if you ever feel like sending me anything. Remember, you have to put it in a cardboard box, and wrap it again with brown paper and maybe even use some tape. I hear there are issues with the post offices.

Kyrgyz Republic

Peace.
