Loved hearing the birds and woodpeckers from Muffy\u2019s yard. Last Sunday I had a good chat with David in Hot Springs, too.<\/p>\n<p>I celebrated my birthday working our sixth evacuation flight, although my sweet consular team had a celebration for me on Wednesday that included cake and video chats with our remote team members. In an effort to keep our exposure as little as possible, we had a very small crew working the airport &#8211; just John, our military colleague, and me. I worked the check-in desk. We had planned for 100, but were able to add 18 extra passengers due to some last minute changes. It was very hot and uncomfortable with no air conditioning along with face mask, face shield and gloves, but we are trying to be as careful as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, I woke up to see our friend Neil Fletcher Wilson passed away. He had recently been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. We were so happy to reconnect with him during our DC tour. He got John going to cooking school, and we spent two Christmases with him and Emma. Smart, funny, thoughtful, and a wonderful chef &#8211; a fine human being, as my friend Brad would say. You will be missed, and our thoughts go out to Emma.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6037\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6037\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6037\" src=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/57CEF3C5-F5A0-40AD-B982-10F1E2F38BB5-300x253.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"253\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/57CEF3C5-F5A0-40AD-B982-10F1E2F38BB5-300x253.jpeg 300w, http:\/\/www.criplomats.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/57CEF3C5-F5A0-40AD-B982-10F1E2F38BB5.jpeg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-6037\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dinner with Neil and Emma at Ris, our last night in DC before moving to Liberia<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; I saw this great little shack of Amos De Boss Business Center last night \u2014 Amos looks to be pretty enterprising and has a great motto \u2014 take a look at the fine print.
