Howdy from Kyiv.
Yepper, I'm in Kyiv right now, running a NATO sponsored workshop on environmental protection. At least, originally, it was all about environmental protection, with a focus on security. But guess what? I'm devious. Since environmental protection includes protecting wetlands and New Orleans, I tweaked the focus a bit. Here's a news release. Devious, but hopefully effective.
So I was in a bar last night watching the world cup, and Ukraine was playing Switzerland. Ukraine finally won in a shootout, and the crowd went wild. This bodes well for the workshop, eh?
The flight was from hell. Thanks, Delta. The woman in front of me, who had the slightly relaxed, eastern European approach to underarm hygiene, refused to put down her window shade. As this was a circumpolar flight, I got a whoppping hour and a half of rest. So I'm gonna be in jet lag hell until next week...when it's time to go back to NOLA.
As I'm on a modem and not broadband, I haven't been scouring the blogs for news. This much I do know: The people taking advantage of the hurricane aren't from New Orleans. Fuck the carpetbaggers, the scavengers, the opportunists. On the other hand, a gang of tall black transvestites could only happen in NOLA. HT to Nancy and Bruce.
Teaser: coming soon, my life as a big man in porn. With pictures!!
What? You're in Kiev as Ukraine plays in a World Cup match and wins????
Only you could manage this, dude. Awesome.
Imagine the Dome when the Saints win a playoff game again this year. . .

There's nothing like being in a real soccer nation while their team plays in the World Cup. I got to watch Scotland vs. Brazil in a pub in Edinburgh in 1998, and it was fucking amazing.
I'll take your word for it on the porn, really. No pictures necessary. Really.

Porn? Seductive, or terrifying? I'm not sure ...
