I just finished up on my family tree. Yup, the whole thing that I have carried around on three large sheets of paper is now computerized. About 300 people on there, and growing :-) I highly recommend that GenoPro software, so easy, and it actually shows you the family tree looking like one (with the lines going from person to person) and when you are done you can upload the whole thing onto the web if you like.

So the talk two nights ago was interesting. I missed the first half hour because I was downstairs browsing away and assumed they would announce the start of the talk. They didn't :-) So when I made my way up there the crowd was quite diverse, and the speaker was an interesting fellow. I forget his name but his new book was something like "The best democracy money can buy" or government or something. Anyway, the most interesting thing I got out of it was just how much dirty money the Bush family gets from all this war prep. It was quite disgusting, and sadly it was not surprising.

Last night I made a delicious Leek dish from the cookbook I mentioned. I grew up eating this stuff and if you haven't tried it, believe me you are missing out. My only warning is that you should REALLY wash the leeks well. I think the size of a "bunch of leeks" may have changed since the book came out. I used one bunch and it came out fine, but then maybe three bunches would have come out fine too, I dunno.

And finally, I started a new forum on the message boards called "Notes from Armenia". It should soon have some messages from people living, visiting, etc there, from all walks of life.

Oh, and who won the presidency???
