Hows this for down an back. Less than 24 hours later I’m back at Kennedy airport waiting for my flight. The baptism went well and I would have liked to stay longer, but I have many things coming up in Rochester. Including a job interview. And thesis writing. In the meantime, here’s a picture of my Cousin-In-Law Mara and the man of the hour Evan:
One more picture, heres a shot of the backyard of my family’s house in Amityville including the canal.
I’m sitting at the Jet Blue terminal at Kennedy Airport on Long Island and taking advantage of wireless access here. I’m down on LI for less than 24 hours to attend the baptism of my Cousin’s son. Actually, I’ll be playing a small role in it as I am honored to be his Godfather. The idea of this is still a bit of a weird concept for me.
The reentry week has been really difficult. Rewards and wonderful and also stressful for a variety of reasons. On Monday I’ll begin writing.
As a slight distraction, everyone should check out Elina’s Blog. E’s a good Anthro friend, fellow MAPSSter, and new owner of a well traveled futon. She’s in Brazil for the summer conducting some field work on Candomble and playing Capoeria.
I made it here in one peice, though I still have a LOT of unpacking to do. More to follow once I get my internet situation sorted out.
Paul and Glenn with the UHaul
Here is most likely the last shot of me working in the Reg taken just a few moments ago. Frazzled. Still packing. But done (although trying to solve a number of last minute moving problems).
