The plague has come and gone. Now it's time to get back to work. We are in the last two weeks of the program, and the same ol' stuff is going on.

However, I was watching CNN last night and they were showing a nice replay of Larry King with Bob Dole on for his 80th birthday. This is for those who haven't heard or read, but Clinton called in to say happy birthday. When asked what he respected most about Dole (or something like that), Clinton went on to say that Dole is a great man for helping the "little people" who don't have much of a strategic anything to offer to the US, but still, Dole stood up for places like Kosovo and Armenia in times where others wouldn't. My question... Clinton, why now? Why not a few years ago when your administration pulled the Genocide bill because Turkey was making crazy threats? It's times like this I really wish Dole was elected president. Not only would I appreciate his help to the Armenians, I would respect him as a president, unlike a man who wooses out to Turkish demands. I'm starting to sound like a republican. Damn!

Not too much other news. AYF Olympics is around the corner, and around this time you can feel the entire East Coast mentally preparing for it. I'm not competing this year, as I didn't have much time to jump in the pool and practice. But I'll stand behind the camera and act as photographer. That's my favorite part of the weekend!
