Hey Jonathan,

I just now saw your comment on my page from a while ago. I obviously haven't checked this in a while, sorry about that. I have been working with coffee farmers, mostly in Tanzania since the Fall of 2008. Other than a near fatal bout with cerebral malaria last Christmas, I have been spending time in Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Kenya and Ethiopia (where I am today). I am usually back in Portland around the holidays.

Hope you are doing well. I will be back in Portland for a couple weeks after the SCAA, toward the end of April.

I'm planning on attending, though with the new job at Backporch in Bend, I haven't worked out the details.
