anyone wanna buy a stereo?
So I’m trying to divest myself of all of this crap that I’ve acquired over the last ten years; it’s not as easy as you think. I’ve brought a lot of things to Goodwill, and actually sold some things - things I think might have value to someone, I try to get some money for, […]

El Salvador, besides being dangerous, is also hot. I have been getting a fair amount of advice on clothes to wear - the PC people in El Salvador say to bring lots and lots of cotton. However, one of my other friends who has lived in a hot climate said that linen is the way […]

I visited the Boy a few weekends ago, just before he started his new job at a very prestigious institution in the high-energy physics department (he’s awfully excited about it). He has also decided to Blog. His blog had the following poem being read in the background when you connect to his page. I was […]

One of my Peace Corps friends talked to one of her other Peace Corps friends (we’re a small little community, sometimes). The other friend was in Peace Corps Guatemala in the late 80’s.

We were talking about the weather in my Spanish class last night. I commented that it is normally cooler by Lake Michigan because the water temperature is cooler in the summer; the mean lake temperature does not raise to match the local temperature. I was saying this in Spanish, and the people in the class […]

I have been working for a while to get rid of extra stuff in my house. One such category of stuff is extra pictures. There was a time in my life when I automatically got doubles of every film roll I brought in. Some of the pictures I gave to people and some just gathered […]

I was in Peace Corps before, about ten years ago, and back then my father was confused about why I might want to live in poverty in a third world country. He still doesn’t quite understand it. Not that I really know why I want to do this, I just do. I want to learn […]

And so, I’m leaving. I have accepted a position with the Peace Corps again, this time in El Salvador. I’ve been taking Spanish classes since the end of last year, passed the medical/dental exams, and turned down the first offer of Jamaica. I leave the country on June 6. I informed my work at the […]
