A (housing) promotion for Phil

Next week Jack and I will depart Kyiv. Phil will also move out of our apartment so that the embassy can get a jump start on some maintainance stuff before the new Embassy family moves into the place in July. Phil's only caveat in agreeing to moving out early was that he needed a place with internet access so he could video Skype with Jack and me when we are in Rensselaerville.

He suggested that the nice, unoccupied, Embassy place in Podil would work just fine for him. And they agreed. So....Phil will be staying in the Ambassador's residense for his last two weeks in Kyiv. Pretty nice way to leave Ukraine!

Here is he testing out his Ambassadorial potential. Ambassador Nervig -- I like how that sounds.
