T.A.F.K.A.M.
I, too, shall change my name to Esther.
THIS TUESDAY: Chrisafer and I head up to NYC for the gay edition of the WYSIWYG show, feat. Jimbo. Will I see you there?
I got a 'B' in my first exam for the summer class I'm taking in 'Intercultural Communication.' Social science exams are very different than hard science exams. I am accustomed to memorizing 500 genus and species names, their common names and their family assignment in three days and regurgitating it out for a lab identification exam where I differentiate and label the preserved species in jars. These fuzzy concept exams are a little different, but not hard.
The kids in this undergraduate class are very bright and communicative. The program is the best in the nation and it shows. Due to the nature of this class and my varied intercultural experiences, I will surely not be penalized for being quiet during the lectures. One of the other students called me 'Superman' the other day (as opposed to 'bezpredelshik') because I had a story for every intercultural instance the teacher brings up. I'm the one in class who always pipes up with "One time, in band camp..." or "One time, in Peace Corps..." or "One time, on my rugby team..." ad nauseum. I knew I'd be the 'old guy' in class who annoyed the younger undergrads, but I don't care too much. Sitting there for 4 hours on a Monday and Wednesday and not sharing would drive me crazy. And y'all know how I love to share.

Good luck and have a great time at the WYSIWYG show, Jimbo! Wish I could motor up there with you and Chrisafer. I'm sure we'd have a gay ole time!

See you there Jimbo. I cannot resist the special musical guests. "The Hazzards" and "Faust, MD" I'm sure you'll be good too. >;-)
