The Liminal Librarian

My brother's unit just saw its first casualties -- for those of you keeping him in your thoughts. We've been unable to talk by phone/Internet for a couple of weeks now, since he's out in the field with no access.

So, an update. We're just chugging along with all the preliminaries, which include exciting tasks like taking the cats to the vet and proving their rabies shots are up-to-date, getting physicals, getting our water quality report from the water department, and filling out more mounds of paperwork. (This is much more complicated than the first time!) We're meeting with our adoption counselor again in a couple of weeks.

If you want to skip to the end, check out this blog by someone who's adopting through the same agency we are and is currently in Korea picking up her new son. (Cute photo warning...!)

I might as well throw all the personal stuff in one post -- Lieutenant Dan shipped out Monday, and e-mailed briefly from Kuwait yesterday. He'll hopefully be stable and set up in a couple weeks with Internet access on his laptop so that we can Skype.

So I got several pieces of spam today from "Adoption Option...."

... and apparently we're sending 21k more troops to Iraq.

I'm scared to post anything else!
