(Dan's) Arrival

This is my first post on this or any blog-- so I have to set the bar really high, "Ask not what you can do for your country" kind of stuff, "One small step for a man." But after a long day of travel, and being sick to boot (but fortunately not booting), I don't think I'm up for what the august occasion really demands. Oh, well-- or as they say here, le oh well. :-) I'll have better material to offer in subsequent days, when I'm awake. Bonne nuit!
