now i live in nasir. my husband loves what he does. he does it well. and i'm a painter, so every place i go i have new things to paint and new subject matter. we think it's important work. so we keep going out. >> well, i chose my next job very carefully. i left washington. i actually went to new york city. that was one of my assignments. we have something called a foreign press center in new york city. and we work with resident and visiting foreign correspondents. our busiest season is of course during the u.n. general assembly. but that was an opportunity to sort of feel out what was going to happen. and whether this was something i wanted to continue with, what other options were out there, if there were. and i found that actually i really liked what i was doing. and i liked the possibilities of what i could do in addition -- more in educational and cultural exchange work, which i think is so vital to all of our interests worldwide. >> yes, sir on the side, please. microphone is on its way. >> thank you so much. i think to say thank you for sharing.
