Now it can be told (because I've just learned it)

Today I was offered and I accepted a job with Equal Access in Kabul. I'm excited but it meant having to decline a great position with Merlin in Pakistan, and even worse, it meant not working there with my Best Boss Ever, who I'd worked for in Liberia. I finish here on August 20, fly to London for Merlin debriefing, then zip up to Scotland to see Sue, then zip even more briefly to Ottawa to see Dad, then depart Ottawa on August 31 for Kabul.

More details to come as they emerge.
