So there I am in the opening faculty meeting listening to Barbara Ganley and….BOOM…I hear the magic name…Alex Yule! You mean, I think to myself…you mean YULSIE!!! My ole pal Yulsie, whose postcard from Nepal (8/9/04) I still have on my classroom bulletin board. And of course it is.

Great to hear of your whereabouts. I wanna keep hearing about your adventures…and know when you’ll be back this way for a visit. Great adventures ahead, obviously, but then you were always the kind of guy who would make life (yours and others) interesting.

Gotta run to my workshop…but had to get a comment off to you.

Take care…and all the best from Exeter.

Wonderful photos and intro to the group. I look forward to reading about the places you visit and what you learn about the culture, humanity and yourself. as soon as you start your home stay, the language lessons will pay off, I bet. Can’t wait to hear about your host family.

BTW, I’m taking a screenshot of this here blog to use (along with your EL170 blog) in a talk I am giving Friday to the PEA faculty on taking Harkness into the 21st century. Wish you could be there!

Sounds amazing, and the pictures are great! Which camera are you using? (Can you rotate the pix so the slides are upright? Any way to put in a name/description?)
Looks like it’s chilly there already-everyone seems to be in jackets-which is strange because it’s 90 degress here.
What’s the music like?
