You rock, man.

My short term travel plans involve Iceland. Longer term, who knows? I'd love to move to Germany; I'm taking steps to make that happen. Next week I'm gonna take the Foreign Service Officer Test, which is the first step toward doing that as a career, which I have no idea if I want but it sounds damn cool so I'm doing it. It's glamorous like being a spy right? Whatever.

Life is pretty much the same. The sicknasty Cajun place around the corner from my apartment started doing dollar pints of the local brewhouse's ales, so I've been there a lot. Ya know how it is. I'm just livin'.

Hope everything is going awesome for you -- how did the day with the company veep go?

Yeah it's a win/win I can get drunk for five bucks which means my tips are massive.

-I have a friend in the foreign service and she is a BAD ASS. Her life is pretty kick ass. They're going to Montenegro soon, which sucks because they're becoming good friends. But, this is their lifestyle, they live somewhere for 1-2 years and then move. Her husband was CIA and is now a venture capitalist, he made a bunch of money from a financial services company he founded. -Cool guy. Really in to bitcoin and crypto. I'll miss them.

Anyways, good luck man!

The day with the veep seemed shitty, but the feedback I received was largely positive outside of "he doesn't fill out his TPS reports properly," but the fact that I can sell the pants off anyone else is what matters. Thanks for asking.
