I'm off to Kapan. There is a kindergarten opening that USAID remodeled, so I am going to go down there and write it up. I love Kapan, so this is going to be fun for me. The scenery on the way might be quite nice too, I'll take lots of pictures if it is.

On Friday night I watched "Bruce Almighty" after work. It was relatively new, and I had not even seen a trailer, so it was nice going in blind. It was a Carey movie, so I did at least know that it would be silly, and that was just what I needed.

Saturday there was this Armenia2020 conference, and I sat in on part of it. There were some interesting presentations on what Armenians who had been surveyed thought about the situation in Armenia, and the direction it should take in the future. Different scenarios were being presented for Armenia to take/emulate. There is an Armenia2020 web site with some details, but I forget the URL (try google).

At night I went to Rene's pumpkin carving party. I cut the top off of my pumpkin before wandering away and hoping it would gut itself. Eventually it was indeed taken over, gutted and carved, which was fine with me. I got home late, but not as late as I would have thanks to the time change.

Anyway, off to Kapan where I'll pick up some BBQ pringles, a delicacy they do not have in Yerevan :-)
