[email fragment] I've still, thanks God, kept up with my voracious reading, listening to lots of great music, and watching quite a bit of TV (soccer, "Friends", "The West Wing", "This Old House"). I've also been trying to teach myself Spanish -- did some lessons and vocab and am now reading novels (I just finished Cien Anos de Soledad and am now early into Carlos Fuentes' Los Anos con Laura Díaz). I still only understand maybe forty percent of what I read, but it seems to be enough to follow the basic plot and make out the general scenery. I liken it to swimming underwater -- it's blurry and you can't breathe, but what fun!
