Glad to hear you are back. We were getting worried.
The Congo eh - must have been a fascinating trip. Do fill us in whenever you get the time, if you can that is.
Did not attend the 'coronation' ;-P. Had work and classes, though I did watch part of it on the tube. My initial euphoria ov er his election vanished the day after he was elected. Not because of anythign he did, but because now the only thing that matters is what he can deliver. So I am a critical observer from now on, not a fawning supporter.
