Absence Makes the Readership Stronger

Better part of a month since my last blog post, but it's not because I've left my host country, like my Olaf classmates who are already back in the states or shortly en route to the land of standard cooking measurements, toilet paper-flushing toilets, and litter stigma. I still have a month left in Istanbul but the looming prospect of my domestic unemployment might propel me to stay in Turkey where my visa provides my excuse, "employment prohibited."

My month has been blog-prohibiting with a week busy hosting my sister Margit, spring break week sailing in the Aegean and Mediterranean, another week with Margit in Istanbul, and concluding with a week of generic blog negligence. This will be amended in the month of May.
