i think i want to spend some time being a "dorm parent" at a boarding school overseas. My landlord's went to Indonesia for 2 years ... i really think it would be good.
(i think these are beautiful)So I went to see Random Dance with a lovely lady. Great night. Got us both thinking. Hearing the choreographer speak afterwards was definately necessary.
I've decided one of the best ways to get inside and understand other cultures is reading their literature. Obviously art and expression is an important way- but literature... demonstrates the hero parables, cultural values, use of metaphor, etc etc... but pricelessly, _communicates the way natives view their own country_.
example: "home"
american lit- leaving home off into the wild to conquer and claim and renew.
british lit- returning home changed after adventuring
irish lit- unable to escape home
west african lit- losing home out from under you
both literally and figuratively these short little generalizations say SO much about the countries. i'm telling you... I've found a whole new love for literature and the study thereof.

erin...I've been thinking about you ever since Christmas....i miss YOU! It was wonderful to see you! Thank you so much for the spa gift certificate--it was soo nice! I had a facial (and I learned a lot about how to take better care of skin)...it was great! Call me whenever you get a chance...I know your school schedule doesn't leave as much time for calls as I'm sure you'd like so I understand. Send me your address so I can send you a wedding invitation:)
The Gulfport/Biloxi Airport is right here (25 min. away) or the New Orleans Airport is about 1hr and 45 min. away. Those are the 2 closest airports. I am going to have more info. in the invitations going out very soon, but feel free to ask me any more questions you may have...let me know how I can help so it's simple for you to come!

thank you! I would be doing my amazingly talented friends a discredit, however, if I didn't mention that they were the ones who developed my site. I happen to like it very much also, and I like them very much, too! So stop by and tell them that you like my site, and they will be blessed
