china and jakeamasnake

i have to think about china's military capabilities and i'm not much in the mood for that. although i got my military assessment of iran back and it was a sound, thorough intelligence analysis which felt good. i'm not worried about the china thing, just not in the mood.

and i've been sporadically in contact with jake again which is lovely. he's in brooklyn. i've proposed that if i'm in romania and he's in lisbon this summer (honestly i thought he would have aimed for buenos aires, but i won't argue) we should meet up somewhere between those 2 places... maybe vienna? cologne? geneva? galway?

[sigh] back to work....
