Rushing around to tie up everything before boarding a plane
for the States in a few hours. Feeling strangely apprehensive, so much unknown
about the near and distant future. Internet blackout for the past 48 hours in my building hasn't helped.
(Update: Typing in from Seoul, my monthly horoscope said (perhaps amplifying Ani Kunzang and her dire Pluto warnings in the comments), I swear: "Avoid prolonged trips, especially ones with multiple stops. Stay where you are." I thought this was pretty bold to print in KAL's in-flight magazine!)
Mongolia, on the other hand, is in a celebratory mood. No link yet, the news is just too fresh, but today’s UB Post blared the following headline concerning the action at the East Asian Football Championships Preliminary Competition:
Mongolian Football Team Trounces
Northern Mariana Islands
I assume they mean their football team, and not the whole population in some unfortunate, multi-atoll brawl.
We did, however, lose to Guam...bet we could out-wrassle 'em...
Update II: Total non-sequitor, but LOL!! I would get tix to this in a heartbeat. Thx for the laff, Horse.
"Multi-atoll brawl." LOL....

Hi Konchog ~ Ani Wangmo just did my chart...we Capricornians have just begun to feel the effect of Pluto which, as she put it, just blasted into our lives like the Terminator or a nuclear bomb..... i found this pretty apt! As she did my reading, she expressed that you, too, would be feeling it. It gave me another framework to make sense of, and work with, the energy and - yes - nibbles of fear. She is a wonderful, perceptive and eloquent astrologer, highly recommended.

Focusing on the lighter side of current events, you'll be back in the states just in time for March Madness!

Konchog I was in Northern Mariana Islands, Saipan working for 5 months, the locals are only managers they don't work they have mostly Philipinos there doing the labor. Enjoy trip to states, Your wisdom and humor are always appreciated.

Ani Kunzang -- That's not fair! Is Pluto even a planet anymore?
Senge -- Does the CNMI also farm out its football games to the Filipinos?! Even if so, we still trounced 'em!
