Hello all,Well this posting is long over due. I have been in Moldova with the Peace Corps for about a month now and the PC is keeping me very busy. I am in training right now, which is at least six days a week worth of job/technical training and language classes. So far I think the Peace Coprs is the perfect job for me, I say that with only one month on the job.
There are 36 other trainees in my group. If all goes well, we will all be sworn in as volunteers on November 15th. Then we will actually begin working. I have been assigned to a nonprofit organization called Local Agenda 21 that works with about 10 other ngo's in and around the town of Minrdesti, where I will also be living for the next two years. I have more information about the organization and my village but it is written in Romanian and my language skills are limited. We just had our first language assessment today so I will find out this afternoon exactally how limited my ability is.
Well, there are a million other things that I could write right now but I don't really have the time. I hope to hear from any and everyone soon. If you have any questions about Moldova and life over here please email them to me because I cannot think off the top of my head of what to write; I would also like to hear how all of you are doing in the States so please keep in touch.
Until then,
Chris

Chris,
It is good to hear from you. You sound very positive about your decision to join the Peace Corp. TSA is just not the same without you and I miss our weekly coffees. The Table of Organization that you worked so diligently on has been invaluable to Mark and me as we try to get more visibility of our personnel activities and costs. Hope it feels good to know you left a product from your internship that keeps on ticking. I got my left knee replaced on 8/14/06 and will be getting my right knee replaced on October 30, so I have been working from home a lot. Due to the many technology advances, I can access all of my files from home, making telecommuting a dream. Mark just got back from giving a presentation in Paris about how TSA assigns fees to the airports, as EU does not currently have a process that is working for them. Even France thinks TSA is doing a good job. So glad you added me to your blog. I look forward to seeing more of your postings.
Sincerely,
Shar
Post some more shit you lazy bum motherfucker. Watch out for Soviet refugees in the bush. Peace, Love, and Death Metal.

Chris,
Nice to know they have electricity and computers over there. Hope all is well, Fairfax just ain't as fun without you here. I'm about to finally! start On The Road tonight, well I hope, I got a call to go up to the Firehouse which I might have to go to. Speaking of which they painted it red and got rid of the cymbal lights. So they got any good bands over there? well I'll write more later if you do. Later!,

Moldova...I havent been there since Falco opened for the Scorpions last year. Hopefully your undercover mission to expose nightlife in eastern europe is going well. Try not to start any civil wars. And tell Santa Clause I say hello, he is from Moldova, right? peas and carrots. ryan (paleblueribbons@yahoo.com)
