Back in America

Yeah, so I'm back in America now. This place is weirder than I remember. I have been keeping busy eating (a lot), golfing (badly), applying for jobs (unsuccessfully), and trying to figure out why people commute to work in monster trucks when gas cost $3.50. Oh, one good thing, I guess. I did get a temporary job translating Bemba (totally random). A returned Peace Corps volunteer who is living in Washington D.C. told me about this company that needed some help translating some documents from English to Bemba. It is freelance work, so I just work from home and send them the work order when I am done. It will be nice to have some cash in my pocket to hold me over. Who would have thought I would ever use Bemba again?

Today I am off to play golf (if it doesn't rain), and tomorrow going up to stay with Kindle for a few weeks. Wish me luck with the job hunting and golf.
