Well, he should be in the air by now on the way to NYC to teach some linquistics.  He is 38 years old, so it isn’t the first time he has left home!  In fact one of the times he left home, we followed him and now live with him in Bangladesh!  This isn’t a photo of him this morning, but one of him walking up the street on another day.

See you in Ohio!

THIS WAS  A PHOTO FROM THE STREET TOWARD OUR HOTEL IN THAMEL.  IT REMINDS ME OF HOW COLD IT WAS, OF COURSE COMPARED TO BANGLADESH.  ACTUALLY IT WAS ABOUT THE SAME AS COLD RECORDS WERE BEING BROKEN IN BANGLADESH. It’s nice to be back home but I miss it that our AC doesn’t put out heat like the one did in our hotel in Nepal!

Winter is here!

THIS WAS MY LAST MORNING WALK IN THAMEL, SINCE WE HAD AN AFTERNOON FLIGHT. AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED I AM POSTING TO CATCH UP FOR THE FIRST DAYS OF 2013. I HAVEN’T COME UP WITH A BETTER IDEA THAN TO POST THE EQUIVALENT OF ONE POST PER DAY PER YEAR!

WE SPENT JANUARY 1 IN THAMEL, KATHMANDU, NEPAL! IT WAS A NIPPY 38 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT EARLY IN THE MORNING AND 63 DEGREES BY 4 PM. I ALSO ENJOYED MY DAILY EARLY MORNING CUP OF TEA.

Hot tea for a chilly morning!

I was going to post the top 30 or so but didn’t have the internet capabilities to complete in time. These are two of my favorites.  If anyone has any comments on what they would like to see in my blog in 2013, including ways to improve my posts please comment.

Happy New Year!

I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THESE STRAWBERRIES AT THIS TIME OF YEAR!  They let me taste me one, and I immediately bought a small pack to take back for Alice to taste as well.  We are enjoying our stay at the Hotel Encounter Nepal hotel.  The tub and hot water are a special treat for my wife, Alice!
