I’m in a lull before transition…transition between phases…it’s like the quiet before the storm type of thing were I feel calm and confused and unfocused. Best cure for it is just to read and ride it out. I started rereading the Balkan Ghost by Robert Kaplan. He is one of favorite literary travel writers.

I’ve got some holiday coming up over the next couple of days…I plan to spend much of it in communion with nature and sorting out my goals for 2004. I need to sort out my big event for 2004…
