Brief update

11.28.2005

Wow, I hardly ever post anymore. That's sad. But here's a brief update about the last few days.

Thanksgiving was great. I didn't realize that cooking for a whole family affair would be as time consuming as it was. But it was great, even if I made way too much food. And it was great to see Novalí (my adorable & smart niece) for a visit. She even drew a picture of my cats; it's up on my fridge now. Also got a chance to see my friend Matt for lunch at Tony's ("home of the giant steak sandwich") on State Street in Saginaw. Now I'm back in Kalamazoo, where Caleb & Marci are in town for a few days.

Got extensive comments on my Chapter 2 draft, so now I hope to polish up the first three chapters before heading back to my parents' for Christmas. I've three weeks, which should be plenty of time.

Bolivian elections are still on track, w/ the campaigns heating up as the last month of campaigning heats up. It's turning into a tight race between Evo & Tuto, w/ Samuel Doria Medina as spoiler. The latter is trying to spring into second place (the only chance he has, otherwise he'll have to support either Tuto or Evo, something he seems unwiling to do).
