last night was fantastic. a night with my closest friends, caring and sharing and chatting until the wee hours of the am... about life. i love nights like that. hadn't had one as far back as i remember.

i have new neighbors downstairs. they are a really nice parska-hye family. today i will go and welcome them... and have some tea... as we good parska-hye's enjoy doing (several times a day).

i also have new neighbors upstairs (of my office)... they are a nice syrian armenian family. do you see what is happening people. armenians are repatriating at alarming rates. i love it. this place is getting more magical every day. i have to admit when when i moved here a few years ago... i felt a little detached from the world. slowly this is becoming the epi-center of everything i dreamed of, an armenian home with armenians from all over the world reuniting. come join in on the fun.
