"A man walks down the street, it's a street in a strange world, maybe it's the Third World, maybe it's his first time around. Doesn't speak the language, he holds no currency. He is a foreign man, he is surrounded by the sound, the sound of cattle in the marketplace, scatterings and orphanages. He looks around, around, he sees angels in the architecture spinning in infinity. He says 'Hey, hallelujah.'"-Paul Simon

Everyone knows it's windy
The wind and the rain just keep coming, the yard is littered with branches, and in the yard the frogs are... well, you see. The garage sale tomorrow is definitely off. The world is grayer and wetter than a gray nurse shark that won a gold medal in wet grayness.
On the brighter side, and it's nice that something is bright, the school in Daegu finally emailed me my visa registration number and I made an appointment for my short interview at the consulate in Atlanta: next Wednesday at 11:30 a.m. I'll need to leave the house by 5 or so, but if all goes well (which would be a first) I might make it to Korea by the time my contract starts on September 1.
'Tis a consummation devoutly to be wished...

We had a lot of wind and rain here in PC as well. I didn't like the forced hiatus from running cc with the kids at school, but I got to play with my new TI-nspire cas. Nice to see even an english teacher that says a shark "one" a gold medal. All the rain must have got Michael Phelps to distract you!
Best of luck.

Okay, Peter. I guess I'm not good at proofing my own writing. But now I've revised the "one" into "won" and now nobody will no what the heck your talking about. So their!
