I'm 1/2 way home! Where do you park YOUR goat?


I will be here 3 weeks tomorrow and, as Judy pointed out to me tonight, I'll be 2 days short of 6 weeks when I come home. I didn't realize it was that long. I've worked a day at the U of Delhi and yesterday I put in about 5 hours of reading/writing and I'm now up to 68 pages with a need for 85. After I edit and pull out duplicate thoughts I'll probably be at 55 pages and then I move onto a different portion - applications. I've got that one pretty well figured out - I hope!
I had a fun day today, I went to the movies with Amod and his family and the theater was in side the biggest mall in all of Asia. It was beyond belief, especially when you lay out the slum next to the gargantuan, glittered and marble floor cathedral of the wealthy - it's sick. We went to see Avatar and it was AWESOME! I can't wait to get home and take Judy to see it. Last night I went out with Amod to deliver blankets, it's still darn cold here at night. We cruised around until 2 Am and gave out several blankets. On this trip I've seen several albinos. One was a young man singing in a choir. He has lighter skin than myself but thick dark hair/eyebrows. When I was told he was an albino it threw me off. Yesterday when we went to the movie, Amod's niece came and before I was introduced I thought she was from the UK. She had bright red hair, like in red almost orange, eyebrows and all. When she spoke with a perfect Hindi accent I was thrown off tract again. She is a nice young lady, Deputy Director of a department of inviromental importance. She was schooled in DC for a year so we had things to talk about. All for now.

  1. Hey Bill! Just read your posts. Sounds like you are keeping very busy. Hope your thesis is coming along and you'll be home before you know it.

    Love,
