[lack of posts]

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Much has been going on in my personal life — a Yosemite vacation, an upcoming move to a new apartment — while the most interesting goings on at the Mission have been personnel issues that I can’t really discuss.

But much is happening at the UN too, and in the larger world. The North Koreans are gonna talk again, and the September summit at the UN should provide some political fireworks. An interesting question is whether the United States will be represented by the embattled John Bolton or by Acting US Permanent Representative Ambassador Anne W. Patterson.
