Here's the list of my major blog entries thusfar (including photography and philosophizing!) Periodically I'll reprint this Table of Contents and change its auto-publish date, so it will keep moving up the blog. I would also like to offer humble gratitude toward Ben, without whose website (and wallet) this blog would not be possible.

Meanwhile, Ben has written an impressive array of articles on a variety of subjects, the most prominent being his three-month sojourn into Kyrgyzstan. I strongly recommend giving these entries a read. For your intellectual relief, he's also provided a volume of background information.

Updates and Announcements

Wednesday, March 8th, 2005 16:00 PM (NYC time)

Updates:

[1] Slowly making my way down my to-do list. I am expanding the "Hail and Farewell, Holy Land" entries, and I will be integrating older entries into this new series. As soon as Geocities stops crashing on me, I will finish uploading my months' worth of photographs, write some html indexes, and complete the series.

[2] Ben and I will soon be restructuring our blog.

Announcements:

[1] Starting tomorrow, for the next three months (through June 27th), I shall have part-time employment as a tutor for a special-needs-student here in Yonkers. I'll be available for other part-time occupations, and after June 27th, anything full-time.

[2] Meanwhile, I've had to change my schooling plans a bit. I am reliably informed that I will not be accepted for a research degree by the School of Oriental and African Studies, which I attended back in September-December 2003 (where I met Ben). So, I am now going to apply for a Master's instead. They can't get rid of me that easily. ;)

Updates:

Today I am giving a presentation concerning my travels to the Women's Society of the North Yonkers Community Church, then I must run down to Getty Square for a job interview, then pack for my weekend trip to Philadelphia. I shall be in the City of Brotherly Love through this Sunday.
By the end of next week, you can expect in this blog by me:
> completion of the "Hail and Farewell, Holy Land" entries
> Thinking-East.Net news
> commentary regarding the recent events in Israel-Palestine, Egypt and especially Lebanon (can we say, "People Power" boys and girls?)
> a second statement of position regarding Israel
