As of this week I have regained access to two very important resources.

The first of these is the Internet.  As I mentioned before, I had to wait for my Internet access to be set up in my new apartment.  The technician came by and installed cable and Internet today.  The cable stopped working about two hours after he left, but I can live with that. Digital cable is not as impressive when you are watching it on a 12 inch incredibly low definition TV that you bought ten years ago.  The Internet is still working, however, so over the next few days I will be getting in touch with those of you who have offered to write essays for the blogging book.

The second - and ultimately more satisfying - resource is my library.  For the past three years, I have had only a small number of my books with me.  While I was in Lithuania, 90% of my books were in storage.  They, along with furniture and dozens of boxes, were delivered to my new apartment last Saturday. I am so happy to have them back that I am almost giddy. I am now in a position to explore ideas without having to wait until I get to a library to do so.  Having these books here almost makes this place seem like home.
