Back again, soon enough:

I'll be returning to Jalalabad and the Taj Mahal guest house on Monday. It's an interesting time. More could be said about how interesting, but if you care enough to read this you've likely been submerged in reports of the Taliban's creeping influence, the butchery of medical volunteers, the malaise of the Afghan people, and the general incompetence of our government.

I'll keep you posted as I travel.
