Well, I've been home all day realizing that TV is full of junk... home sick. How very depressing. But I already feel better.
So not I can give my update. Since the latest log, there have been a plethora of meetings. Between AYF Olympics (for 2005 in DC), April 24th community meetings and regular AYF and senior and junior meetings, it seems like not a single night of the week is open anymore. But last weekend there was no stopping me. Despite the Friday night Senior meeting, I was determined to find my way to Montreal. I hopped on a 7am flight from Baltimore to NY to connect through to Montreal. I had a nice little 5 hour delay in NY, but finally reached Montreal where my dear friends Lalai and Perouz awaited... thanks guys. Having no obligations whatsoever, I simply enjoyed a nice evening with my friends... until... Ah, that's right, the Harout dance. Though my trip was not designed around the dance, I coincidentally picked the weekend he was there. So, when in Rome... go to a Harout dance.
We had a blast as always, not to mention the many other Philly and DC folks who showed up. Now THOSE guys are loyal fans.
The ride back was a simple 10 hour drive with 4 others from DC. Not as bad as I thought it would be, but next time, I think I'll just schedule my flight WELL in advance and get a simple roundtrip ticket for a decent price. Yikes.
Important issues, I'm still overwhelmed by the cowardly attack in Budapest of the Armenian military official by his Azeri counterpart. There is a lot of discussions sparking up about what direction this is going to take and what this means for Kharabagh.
And of course, it is almost impossible to avoid the controversy surrounding Mel Gibson's new movie "The Passion of the Christ." I have to say that I am a big fan of his, Braveheart... I've seen about 100 times. Every day it seems like freedom of speech is disappearing from this country. I'm going to see this movie... probably with my eyes closed half the time because it's suppose to be so violent, but I love Mel.
Of course, everything has to come back to the Armenians. Apparently during Gibson's interview with Diane Sawyer (I think) he mentioned the Armenian genocide. The segment was removed from the final aired interview, but he did mention it as a part of history. If only he made 40 Days of Musa Dagh. But it would probably be too similar to Braveheart, I suppose.
