About Me

  • Worked in politics, hated it, so I went to teach abroad. Now I am spending my time collecting research on Cambodia in between teacheing stints. Some of my friends accuse me of using my research as an excuse to travel to neat new places. They are sometimes right.

  • The quiet of the birds

    November 20, 2009

    • "I prefer the voices in my head to the voices outside" Said my friend. "The voices in my head know when it is time to be quiet."  Before he continued before I called over the bored waitress and asked her to get a beer for my friend. My friend has seen quite a lot in his life that people were not meant to see and as a result his sanity tends to move in opposite ...

  • Postcard from Asphodels Meadows (final finale)

    September 28, 2009

    • The orange from the setting sun in the east licked the now gray sky. Most sunsets expand like a mushroom cloud before it ran out of oxygen to consume, eventually they die as night overtakes it .  This times it the gray of the colorless day was overrun by the orange. I felt drawn to the orange glowing even though for some reason I felt that this sunset was not like other sunsets. It was the ...

  • Baseball and the true meaning of forgiveness

    September 17, 2009

    • I was going to write, as is quite often the case, the best blog ever. But something changed that, because this blog I could not make up. This blog I couldn’t think of on my own.

Comments I've Written

  • #20

    #20 is so true. I tell all my students that they should visit NYC once in their life time and then leave before the demons that lurk in the water there swallow their souls.

  • beautifully written

    I know all too well about the "Life" roller-coaster. From the sounds of it Goliath sounds great. I think I will try that one next, it seems much more fun.

  • things are tough

    I understand, although not as fully as one could without being in your shoes, how tough things are. But don't worry so much about the color of bleak.

  • you don't need to be a fan..

    You don't need to be a fan of Oprah Winfrey show to realize what an amazing woman she is.

  • In my prayers too...

    Deborah- Must be honest I don't know much about MS but from reading Belle's blog I can tell that you are a strong woman especially since you are able to keep your sense of humour.
