Hi guys, just thought I'd post an update on my rapidly changing life:

(a) I have withdrawn from law - the 2+ hour commute each way killed me. I ended up being too exhausted. Oh well, better to find out now than later.

(b) BUT it wasn't all a loss because in the three weeks I was there, I met an Iranian guy who had just come to the West for the first time and we have become good friends. I'm helping him with his English and I've started learning Persian, which he's going to help me with. If I get good enough I hope to sit at the end of the year for the Australian government translators' accreditation exam. Then I'll see if I can get some part-time work as a translator.

(c) For the moment, for a living I'm going to be doing part-time time work taxi driving ("You looking at me? There's no-one else here, so you must be looking at me" ). I'm also going to try and keep up with research stuff - I'm going to a conference on religious studies in July.

(d) I keep changing my views around, and,

(e) My wife's just found out she's pregnant! Number three is on the way.

All the best guys and gals! Just watch out for Laika on April Fool's Day ...

A philosophical taxi driver; that's never been done before.....

We've known a number of Iranians at university (pre-revolution) and since; they're

wonderful people and I don't think they'll be held down too long by islamic fundamentalism.

Congrats on baby number 3 (of the countable set biggrin

) and good luck on the taxi driving.
