... I am back ... again

I know you all missed me. I did not have time to miss y'all unfortunately. My visit home to Boston and NYC was very hectic and what have you. I also missed Thanksgiving ... yipeee. Never appreciated the mass murder of turkeys and an insult to the face of Native Americans anyway.

So, I missed much here. Elections, elections, elections and the freezing cold.

Kosovans (Balkans) in NYC....

So, I will be heading home soon to Boston to take care of some family and educational stuff. What's the use of being in the East Coast without going to NYC, right? So I will be in the big apple a couple of days. I have heard and read a lot about the the 'big' Kosovan (Albanian) community in NYC ( and other Balkan folks also). However, I have yet to discover them or where they hang out and would love to do so. If you have any tips or info on where to go to for the Balkan (minus mafia) vibe in NYC, please & please, drop me a note and let me know.

I, for one, am glad that I am getting this excuse to go back home. My abstinence here is beginning to get to me and is driving me nuts ... hope I can do something about that once I get back to the East Coast ;)
