R ~
Thanks for posting something - I wondered when you would see the lengthy missives. It is a Thursday afternoon and the heat wave is still on - sunny/hazy still at the beach and pleasant enough, but in the valley it was 100 again. These are record temps. here for this time of year. I wonder why? It was also great to speak to you last night - you sounded like you were in the next room. Isn't the Net great? I can just imagine you and Grace trapsing around the Indian countryside in the monsoon! The images are compelling and I hope you are recording them on your camera.

Work has become a nausea in a way as we're all bearing the brunt of people with addiction problems in places of power. I don't know how it will resolve itself, but it is becoming more and more unpleasant. Fortunately, I think this is simply a cleansing, but while it's going on, it's gruesome. My hours are short, tho', except for Fridays, so I focus on other things. Mainly, as I mentioned, the "architecture of participation" and all that that concerns.

I got us new cell phones which are quite amazing and a cheap service for all of it. The picture-taking phones along with the various services were too expensive, so I went with picture phones only that have web micro-browsers so you can do email and download weather apps, your own photos for sharing, games, etc., etc. They're motorola phones. I'll see how I like it. Anyway, you will have a cell phone when you come back and we get 1000 mobile to mobile minutes so we can gab with each other, plus unlimited nites and weekends and 500 daytime minutes. With the amount I don't use, I figured that would be enuf.

As I mentioned, Jeff H. called and said he looks forward to speaking with you soon.

Now I'm going or a workout. Take good care of yourself. Love, ~ K
