Blogging our life

Kathy, Nico, Stefan and I all lead pretty interesting lives, and friends have been known to ask me "Where are you living now". So I figured if we had a blog, everyone who cared could know where we are living now. And what we're doing, and what our favorite movies are, and who knows what else...

To elaborate, Kathy and I are living in our house in Luray, Virginia in the heart of the Shenandoah Valley, and commuting in to D.C. 3 days a week when we're not traveling to far-flung countries for work. Nico is living for a year in Gaborone, Botswana, working for the Harvard AIDS Institute before going off to medical school (accepted at Stanford, waiting to here from a couple of others). Stefan has just finished a quarter at the University of Sydney and is traveling up the East Coast of Australia on vacation before returning to Dartmouth next month in (hopefully less than utterly and completely freezing) Hanover, New Hampshire.

Even I, who lives this life, must admit it looks rather exotic when put on paper (or screen, or whatever). Funny that it doesn't seem so exotic living it.

"Wherever you go, there you are."

My favorite Zen saying.
