We're in the throes of getting web stuff up and all that, but for now, we do have a Twitter, so if you want to follow us early and often, that's at @TrebleEntendre.
We remember you who have suffered or died
at the hands of others,
Women who have loved women;
Men who have loved men;
And all of those who have refused
the roles others
have expected us to play.
Nothing shall purge
your deaths from our
memories.

I always, always register with the state dept. Part of it is based on a scary experience in a war torn country during that living abroad period but the other bit has more to do with the people who are not me. Often if you are abroad when a disaster strikes the state dept may be the only way your family is getting information on you.
It is a personal preference I suppose and I personally would not be any more worried about going to Europe (way more crime against tourists in Europe than most of the places we drag our kid that the average American considers unsafe...sigh..)than normal but I always register.

It's one thing to lie about your nationality if you find yourself on a bus that's been hijacked buy terrorists, but the consular list is a totally different thing - that's letting the US know that there's a US citizen in town who they may need to help if shit goes badly. I think it ridiculously unlikely that they will have to evacuate Switzerland because the Slavs invade, but I like knowing the Marines will make sure I'm on the plane if I'm on the list.
