Updates
Again a long time since an update. Let’s see...
We just got back from a trip to the New Jersey beach, or “shore,” as it is called there, with the New Jersey family. We saw our little niece, who is chubby as ever, and can now rudimentarily grab at things. She really likes her green stuffed frog which goes “rabbit” and does not like being held by anyone but her parents.
We got tans at the beach, of course, and ate lots of fried seafood. Mmmm... It was good for the first few days, but by the last day my stomach was complaining that it wanted something fresh and not fried. I think I’ve eaten three salads since we got back on Sunday.
My sister is getting married in the beginning of December, and we’re planning on a shower for sometime in October. If all of these trips pan out, it will mean well be in Seattle four times this year. And since we’re going to Hong Kong for Christmas, we’re really racking up the frequent flier miles.
I just accepted a fall internship at the Mansfield Foundation, which focuses on the East Asia, so I’m excited to be at a place that is doing work in my field. My current internship is winding down – I have two weeks left there – and we’re finishing up a piece to send to the fall issue of World Policy Journal, and after that preparing for my director’s visit to South and North Korea in September. My director was also doing some consulting for a documentary ABC wants to do on North Korea, including a possible unprecedented interview with North Korean leader Chairman Kim Jong Il. You heard it here first.
My fall classes start in one week. Beth is busy looking for work, as she is going to take the year off from law school. The cut-throat competition isn’t exactly her cup of tea, especially since it seems that almost everyone in law school is there just so they can make lots of money and get drunk a lot. Beth would rather do something a little more productive with her life, and so she’s going to take a year off and do just exactly that.
That’s all the news from here.
