Brilliant Journalism, memoir, irony, and yes yes a bit of humor.. I know you only have so much space but eh circumstances under which you went to the PEACE CORPS.. can you write more about that. with little or no mention about presidential powers except as a point of context who was in office when you decided to go? why there and not the military. What is it like to "integrate" a space, be the outsider,; the visitor: what are you good at that made you want to voluntarily go and cross a border. unlatch the fence.. Did you go expecting to give and realize you get so much more and OH MY YES, bi lingual as well... did you speak Spanish before embarking on the journey? Miss you and farm Fridays and more frequent posts but I will assume that sabbath rest is in order and you are scheming something wonderful. wherever you are now in Wisconsin or Honduras is exactly the right place. Can we collaborate on the PEACE CORPS journal.? I have some ideas.. What makes a person go there, and return and live and love to tell the tale. How were you transformed and changed.? Some people say terrible things about CHEESE HEADS. I have a great deal of empathy and curiosity about being misunderstood.. Does it snow anywhere in Honduras. SAME FULL MOON everywhere, even if you can't see it.
