Hi all,
I’ve had this blog for quite a while, but I haven’t really made much use of it.
So, why not start it off in style with a big announcement?
I’m moving back to Europe in six short weeks to begin working towards a M.A. in Political Strategy and Communication at the University of Kent’s Brussels School of International Studies!
I’m stil working out all of the logistical details of the move (no small feat, I assure you), but I know that I will be living on Rue D’Oultremont (D’Oultremontstraat) in Etterbeek, which is one of nineteen municipalities that make up Belgium’s Brussels-Capital Region. I will be sharing a flat for the first year or so with Mike Klein, whom I met through Young PR Pros, a great list-serve for public relations professionals in the first ten years of their careers. I don’t know much about the Etterbeek area yet, but a couple of nearby attractions include the Parc du Cinquantenaire (Jubelpark) and Avenue de Tervueren (Tervurenlaan), one of the oldest avenues in Brussels.
In any event, I’m really excited about the move, and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you, so please stay tuned!

Dear Michael,I look forward to keeping up with your adventures while in Europe. Will you get to see Geneva every so often since she will be in London? I would love to see you before you leave. I sometimes take Marc to DC to go to the museums. Do you ever get to Baltimore?Mrs. B.

Hi, Mike!Great news that you’re coming to Brussels, where I’m living. You already know I made a ACYPL trip in the United States in 1976. I’ll be happy to see you, if you want to. We have some good Thai restaurants here, but also French and Belgian ones
