Southern Grandeur Part 2

The Third Goal

Usually, it is me sharing my stories, mementos, and thoughts on my service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Ukraine. This time around, in Nashville I got to learn a little something about another former Peace Corps country from a Volunteer who served in Uzbekistan before coming to share her wisdom and abilities with Ukraine.

What this involved was not a lengthy discussion of politics, culture, or the way of life for Uzbekis. Instead, it was an impromtu America's Next Top Modelesque session.





Very fierce.

Southern Grandeur

Wicked Hot Dude!

All of a sudden, as if overnight, Boston has become unbearably hot. Today I spent most of the day sleeping, because it was too much effort to do much of anything else, and even attempting to sleep was a challenge.

The uncomfortable heat as reached the northeast and it's time to think about buying a fan or something to make it possible to actually enjoy my weekend.

I commented to someone that it never got this hot in Nikolaev, my city in Southern Ukraine, but then I realized, no it did. Actually it was even HOTTER, it's just that I was more accustomed to being uncomfortable in Ukraine. Sad, but true.

I had been thinking of looking at the south as a place for a potential move in future, but this has me thinking "what, am I crazy?" I like jackets, sweaters, and breezes that aren't gusts of heat.

Who knows. But for now, I'm gonna sit in my room with the lights off and imagine laying on a large slab of ice until I drift off to sleep.
