Mark up one more book to the list... but this one is a little more functional than literary. The ANC of Burbank approached me a while back to feature me in their annual Weekly organizer... planner... agenda... calendar... whatever you call it. Everyone says something different. So they are ready! You can see a preview and purchase a copy on their website and the proceeds go to the ANC of Burbank to keep fighting for genocide recognition at this incredibly crucial time.
Other news... it's FREEZING cold as I approach my first Christmas spent away from my family and in Armenia. I have all my dinner plans set and all my days filled with great friends, so I hope that void is filled as much as possible. Anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE my family and hate the idea of not being with them when there's a get together.
Presidential campaign politics are heating up of course, but I feel completely removed as so many people debate daily. I think this time around I am so saddened by the choices and see no strong candidates that are even clearly stating how they plan to make Armenia a better and stronger country, I just cringe at the thought of even morally supporting one or the other. Some people seem to think a revolution will take place either way. All I can say is that if Ter Petrosyan is maintaining his position on the genocide matter and his attitude towards the Diaspora, I really fear for Armenia's future. The last think we can afford is to divide all Armenians one more time. Say what you will about the Diaspora, it's still an asset we can't afford to lose. It seems the public believes he has a chance, but I can't imagine how that is possible. I realize in their minds the alternative (Serge) is much more threatening to them, but I think there is a little short term memory going on here.
Anyway, I was hoping to be here to cover the elections, but I'll be traveling for a month in February, so I might miss out on all the action. So much for that. Looks like I'll be passing through Italy, Greece, DC, NY, Boston, LA, and maybe Montreal... trying to hit as many countries and cities in one shot. hahaha. Seriously though, lots of photo-taking and research to do. Focus Arsineh!
