heya -
my computer adapter has been dead for quite a while, but thanks to my open-wire, bind-them, tie-them geek skills, I improvised a temporary adapter. 

andrei: i did get your e-mail about a week ago; your last message, the one sent out at the end of june, i got it waaay into july. i also emailed you abt this. dunno what's happening. i won't be travelling to SF anymore, sorry :( budget issues and a better plane deal will drag me to Oregon for a short vacation. if you can call marian, i'm sure you can also call me; it might actually be cheaper, given that we are in the same country :) i will let you know if i come up with any means of getting to Cali, or maybe you can delay your flight back with a stop in NYC; i could even help (not much, but something) with the extra-stop expenses. lemme know, one way or another. some cali impressions would be great, also.

marian: you complain about posting your cell number online, yet you have no problem posting andrei's personal e-mail??? :P as for the other stuff, i won't be home this summer. i will fly to romania most likely around Nov 14th, for a couple of weeks. will keep you posted. i would like to go hiking again. tantea de la "colt de rai" s-a cam suparat ca i-au murit plantele din cauza fumului de tigara (luca si vlad major suspects.) but if you're planning something and it's in november, i'm in.

teo: nu stiu cine sunt "ceilalti"; as in, i'm sure we'd all like to hear impressions. u going back? staying home? r u ready to take over the NL? etc. hope your home culture shock is not too much.

vlad: mai da un semn de viata.

that's it, folks! back to work, study, and dreams of a vacation.
