Higher Education

(Annie and Frippy lounging)

The wind will crack in winter time
This bomb-blast lightning waltz
No spoken words,
just a scream...

Tonight we'll build a bridge
Across the sea and land
See the sky, the burning rain
She will die and live again
Tonight

And your heart beats so slow
Through the rain and fallen snow
Across the fields of mourning
Light's in the distance

Oh don't sorrow, no don't weep
For tonight, at lastI am coming home
I am coming home

It sounds absurd.

"Where are you taking your holiday, Senor El Dude?"

"Um, Los Estados Unidos."

"Que bien? Adonde?

"Nueva York, Connecticut, and Washington DC." It sounds like a sick joke.

But then again, nothing is quite as it used to be. Thank god, I guess. Things
weren't really so great 9 months ago.

So i am coming home for a month. I haven't had a month long vacation since I
was ...twelve? That's 27 years ago. Ay caramba!

We were at dinner yesterday. My student, Juan jo, said "Yes, I see it
yesterday."

I helped him out. "Past, dude. Past simple."

"Seed?"

"Como..." I made a crunching noise and pretended to saw back and forth. We
had gone over this in class already because he had seen the movie SAW.

"Como la pelicula."

"Oh... saw!" he shouted. Thank you Jay!"

"My boss, Lyndsay, almost spit her food across the table she was laughing so
hard.

Hey- anyway you learn, I could care. Just learn baby. Just learn.

And get this my boss, a maybe 27 year-old woman from Pittsburgh (she's nice
but a little tightly wound) - her name is Lyndsay Buckingham. What foul madness is this!!! Like from Fleetwood Mac, except he's a guy and he spells it Lyndsey. That and he's a much better guitarist than this Lyndsay. How can parents do this to their children?

Damn cool here- love it! It's like 55 degrees. Tomorrow is the summer solstice
and i wish to do something pagan!!

Every night from 6:30 - 7:15 we have an end of day review, and I take my
student, Juan Jo, to a bar and we play foozeball. Now that's higher education!
