The End Draws Nearer

We are discussing my ability to close up shop here and get there. I thought I had missed out on the beginning of the school year for this September....but perhaps not. Guled's dad is very concerned about our safety based on my skin color. I have thought this through for some years and I am convinced that it is probably time that Guled be given the presumption on skin color for a while. He needs to be the "local" while I am the foreigner. Let them accuse me of horrid things because I am white rather than those here accusing him of horrid things because his skin color is "Muslim terrorist." Stupid, uneducated viewpoint. Good book title though. Hum...she pondereth....

#1 son is interested in teaching at the school also. He has continued this interest from the time we taught the Somali immigrants here. I have asked my brother to help me find a good video camera so that we can post video of our year....just in case this happens now.

Ok, a Friday with all the guys from the school, seeing Despicable Me, before we enjoy some road trip time with our Thai friends....and perhaps pack up our lives for a while so that we can really experience and live.
