The patience lesson

D2li left this morning for Boston to participate in Model UN. She is representing Kazakhstan - UNHCR. I am not sure if K'stan is dealing with refugee issues, but who knows. There days every country in the world is making conditions unbearable, real or imagined for someone or the other. She was telling me that the sessions go late in the night. If those negotiations take time even in these mock sessions, imagine what they must be like for real. There was a tinge of frustration in her voice about how the UN processes seem to take forever. It is seemingly challenging to accomplish anything. Well, if W had learned his lessons at Model UN he might have figured out that you do not change nations overnight.

In less than a year she will be moving off to college. Time for her to take on the next stage of life. 

I sketched out ways I might rearchitect my life. It would be interesting. The uncertainty adds a pinch of uncertainty to life. And of course there are so many other things to think about. Really important ones.

I wish I could watch a movie tonight. Perhaps I should try and watch something on Netflix on line. Speaking of online, I discovered this nice routine for the morning. Listen to BBC World Service in the morning while doing other things. It gives me a sense of being at home. It is a pleasure to listen to sports around the world, and they even cover the NFL and NBA!
