just an update

i know i haven't written a real message in a while (although i did update the books that i've read..). things are going well. i'll be moving into my house in a little under two weeks. very excited about that. the language is definatly improving. i think i'll be very comfortorable in conversation after 6 months at my site (leaving four more months of "what did you say" and guessing at context, but, such is life). not that much more to say, just trying to meet people and adapt. fortunatly the weather has been nice (nothing like ouarzazate, where i am now, which is 105 degrees.. now i remember why i hate the desert). ok well, i'll get going. signing off.
