So President's Day came and went, and it was a really nice relaxing 3-day weekend. Once again though I did not get out of town - my friends seem quite worthless when it comes to that. :-p

What did I do? Well I went to Ashod and Anna's wedding, that was the main thing. Otherwise I hung out with friends, got some errands done, recovered and relaxed. I also did some planning for a trip to Western Armenia. I want to go this spring with some friends, and hopefully someone who was actually born in Cilicia, back during Ottoman times. I will reserve details until it actually happens.

Some co-workers went up to Georgia last weekend for some skiing at an Austrian-Georgian joint venture ski resort. They had a blast. A second new resort costing $80 million is being built as well. Certainly Armenia and Karabakh have plenty of mountains for this sort of thing and just need people to jump in and commit themselves to such a project.

Hmmm, what else? I can't think of much else, but things are going great and although today is cold, the rest of the week is forecast to be warmer, which has a directly corrolation with my happiness. Actually I was reading a study that people who garden are something like 5% happier than others, and I have been planting lots of seeds in my window sills, so maybe that is what has done the trick. :-)
