I am plenty busy, and the idea of tedious work with deadlines and office stress really does not appeal to me. This is a very complex issue. I will not try to encompass it all in one entry. Also, I have a lot to say about our life in Switzerland. I will get to this a little at a time, and hopefully it will build momentum. This is just the very beginning. So bear with me, whoever you are.
