Farewell to teaching...for now anyway. My last exams were Thursday night and as of Friday noon all my grades are in. All my students passed, though for one it was by the skin of his teeth. I'll miss teaching. I won't miss grading.

And farewell to the US, for a few days. I'm leaving for Moscow Saturday morning and will be back Friday night. My first taste of diplomacy...given what I'll be doing in my next job, this is a good warm-up. I don't know if I'll be able to post from there, but I'll try. Finally, 20 years after I studied the language at UVA, I get to use it.

See you next week!!!!
