News?

Nope, not so much (but gotcha with the title, huh?).  Not much happening here, and that's actually kind of nice.  Tried a few new Ethiopian recipes, and the one for lentil soup was fantastic, super easy, and pretty healthy. I think I could add berbere to anything except ice cream--although, hmmmm.... The attempt at making injera was a flat-out failure, but I've never been good at dough of any kind.  Worth trying again, I guess. 
Lots of folks from our agency are planning their first trips to Ethiopia, so I'm taking lots of notes on what shots they are getting (it is not consistent--seems to vary by state/department) and where people are traveling to.  Most families are taking a trip somewhere to see a part of Ethiopia that speaks to them---it's fun to start thinking about where we might want to visit during our trip there (in the distant future), if indeed that is possible. 
Other than that, just trying the chill and enjoy life a little (listening to Cory singing old Alabama songs right now--how funny is that?  He's one of those people that knows the words to every song in existence, I swear)--and here's another video that is seriously hilarious (and everyone is fine in the end)--ducks are just cute.  That's all there is to it.
