We're fine, evacuated to Philadelphia

Thanks so much, --Alterego. My wife, son, and I have evacuated to Philadelphia. We have decided to relocate here. We may have lost a lot of things in the Hurricane, but have each other and have found a lot of kindness here in Philadelphia. Thanks for your concern.

Fellow Polyglot

Hi Joe, I was just putting my name into the Wikipedian Languages page and noticed that we coincide on several languages-- I'm fluent in Spanish, advanced in Catalan, and learning Italian. The one that made me write to you was the Catalan. Did yoyu live in Catalunya? My wife is Catalana, that's why I speak what I do (other than just being a language geek). Anyway, glad to meet you.

My Catalan is pretty weak. I've been to Barcelona at least half a dozen times, though, once for as long as a month, got a decent Catalan-English dictionary and some grammar books, did my best to pick up Avui now and then instead of El País or Vanguardia, and at least got to where I'm usually OK with museum wall texts and restaurant menus. That level has proven enough to do some fairly decent translations here. But note that I only claim "ca-1", and in this case I can't even say I'm being cautious (as I am with my "de-1" and "ro-2").

Anyway, glad to have you aboard. I'm sure you've noticed that there is a lot of translation work to do. You might want to join WP:SPATRA, and maybe help out on our current difficult task, Threshing-board/Translation. - Jmabel | Talk 19:15, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
