Cum Laude

Congratulations to my roommate and friend, Paul Yao. He came to the U.S. from Cote d'Ivoire in 2002 to work on a college degree, and on December 16 he graduated from Georgia State University. Not only did he get his business degree, he also graduated with honors. Not bad for someone who barely spoke English when he came here. Tres bien!

Rome Roam

I'm off Friday with my roommate Eric for two weeks in Naples, Rome, and the little country of Malta. If Vesuvius doesn't blow, we'll be back on the 20th . . . and maybe shortly after that, I can get back to this blogging thing. There are so many things I want to write about, and if I don't do it, who's going to tell you the truth about global warming?
