I found a fantastic way to stop tele-marketers. It's amazing how silent they become when you ask if their offered subscription would be available to you in Uzbekistan! They just don't have a response for that in their script. A volunteer that is in Uzbekistan already e-mailed that she is desperate for new reading material so I shipped about 50 pounds of books yesterday. I'm spending these days packing, taking care of paperwork (absentee ballot, driver's license, etc.) for a 27 month absence and hanging out with family and friends. I'm hoping to get everything done early next week so I can go up to Cape Cod for a day or 2 before I leave. (Don't worry - future posts will be much more interesting - I promise. Just needed a break from packing.)
