Finally home! What a feeling! Preparing to step off the plane, waiting 20 minutes for the right airport bus to arrive and take me from the plane to the terminal, then going through the fiasco of smuggling my laptop through customs (only with the help of a friend of a friend of a friend who works for the Intelligence Service--otherwise I'd have had to pay 70% of the purchase price in import duties) and finally feeling the holes in the road through the shock system of my family's car. Unmistakably home, unmistakably Bulgaria...
MOSCOW: International Monetary Fund official Stanley Fischer left Moscow on Wednesday with some weighty reading for the plane ride home: Russian premier Sergei Kiriyenko's newest plan to make the Russian economy a good risk for a $10 billion IMF bailout.

"They may have sent him to Bosnia to keep him from being deposed," Klayman suggested...
...without explanation, it was approved again. So now Jesus is in--but he's running late. At 11 p.m. the man checking names at the door of the Village Vanguard, the New York City jazz club where Miles played, where Monk played, says Jesus hasn't arrived but his plane "is touching down even as we speak." As a result, Jesus' set has been pushed back from 11:30 to 'round midnight. The club is half empty. Only the true believers, only the people whose jazz souls need saving, are going to stick it out that late on a weeknight...
