FSOT and b-day wishes

Happy late-birthday to everyone who had February birthdays and my mother (her birthday was yesterday). I took the Foreign Service Officer Test a couple days ago and feel that I did pretty well on it. After returning to post I found out the the power regulator and fridge and computer and security lights were blown from a power surge...that is why I have been out of contact for a while. I will try and get photos of the Mali trip up as soon as a new computer gets up to the workstation.
