I don’t have a post of any substance to make but wanted to say that I am still alive and still in Kabul for those of you who keep track of me here. I have been ordered to limit what I say about things connected to my work life here. Since I live in work provided housing and spend all of my time with people from work that pretty much means saying anything about my direct experience is off limits. The pace of this time of year and the deteriorating security situation mean that I haven’t been out and about to take photos or have non-work related experiences. Hence the lack of posts. What I can say is that being here gets harder every single day and I can’t really see that my being here is contributing anything useful. Therefore, silence may be the best thing to offer here. Hopefully things will shift and at least photos will appear again before too long.
