I'm not dead.

I am remiss for not updating this blog for nearly a week. I am busy preparing for my first teacher training course which begins tomorrow. In addition, I have to prepare a keynote speech for a conference in the neighboring county of Suceava before going on to another conference in Bucharest at the end of the month. While in reality I try to maintain the face of a calm smiling Buddha statue, the picture above more closely resembles how I am feeling.

I promise to post something within a few days. If not, I promise to refund the price of all your subscriptions.

To my father, I would like to thank you for your thoughts on the election. I think Lincoln would be a good choice, however I doubt he would want to run again seeing how things turned out the last time. As for Palin, she might well go moose hunting in the congress. Thankfully most of our politicians rarely bother to show up for votes. The ones who do come will most likely be asleep, so they will die painlessly.

To Dr. Sherri Tapp. It was good to hear from you as well. I hope your mod. goes swimmingly. I always enjoyed coming to your class. Are you still hitting the gym? I am going to join a local fitness club once they are finished with rennovations. In the mean time, I am enjoying a diet of cream and butter soaked mashed-potatoes, fried meatballs, pork and beef cutlets, and 300-varieties of sausages. The only green thing I have seen on any plate here in Romania is the floral pattern on the porcelain.

If anyone is thinking of possible Christmas gifts, some nitro-glycerin and a defibrolator might come in handy soon!
