Not yet, but the time I get home every night is progressively getting later
and later.  The rest of this week will be tough since the Defense Attache
is going to be out of the country so I will have to handle both jobs.

Not so much conversation about that.  Mostly about living in Baku and
working with the locals.  Being a diplomat prevents me from saying much

Also for me battling the disinformation from some circles on what we are
supposedly doing here which is usually completely out of lunch.
