my uncle olaf used to say …
… whenever you finish four mind-numbing days spent grading 400 final exams (which require students, among other things, to “write two examples of a swear word”) …
… go to cambodia.
well, i’m taking ol’ ollie’s advice. i’ll be in cambodia until nov. 28.
how do you say “happy thanksgiving” in cambodi … um … cambodianese? (i really should have read up on this place a little more. cambodiahua? cambodinglish?)
[olaf also used to tell me never to mention stories i have promised to readers, but, for whatever reason, haven’t written yet. so i won’t mention the xinjiang stories that i owe you, among others. i won’t apologize. i won’t blame the the fact that they’re not written on 400 final exams … but i could.]
see you in 10 days!
(by the way, i got my camera fixed. so expect some pics.)
