well, i'm back

so much for trying to catch up on blogging during my sojourn in the states... but i hope to catch up in the next two weeks, as i won't be doing much of interest while i'm glued to the tv watching the olympics. after using my tv just once in my first six months here, i've decided it's time to figure out the channels now that i have a reason to watch. luckily, i found a french station covering the games after suffering through swiss german for a couple hours.

it was so nice on the flight over when they started doing everything in (at least) three languages again. ah, back to switzerland. in the office, there are lots of new people i don't know very well yet, and the food is just as terrible as ever. but it's been snowing a little (i've been detoxed of cold boston memories and am just delighted every time the fluffy stuff starts falling), and when it's not too cloudy you can see snow on the mountains across lake zurich, and i'm just so happy to not be doing the sf-mv commute anymore. so, so far so good.
