I am my own worst enemy. Who can argue with that? Isn’t it true for everyone, by degree at least.
I did see
Manhattan but I forgot all but the fact that a Hemingway was in it. Beautifully shot film though I am curious, in
all the panoramic views of the city I did not see the world trade centers. Was this version I downloaded edited by
someone? Seriously, the two buildings
are not in the movie.
With the windows
open on a mix of sun and spit I struck a line through my list to get done today
and Fezel’s oldest boy Waliki took to playing badminton but not to coloring
mandalas though the book has been taken home I think. I was wondering who I’d leave that book with,
it’s been decided I guess.
I have six
classes left this coming week, three morning conversation and three afternoons
and that is it and me is wondering if this will be the last time I teach in
Kandahar. No time for sentimentalism, I
went up to the roof this afternoon for some cool desert breezes and a ring of various post storm clouds and
didn’t stick around for the sunset.
Nope, not today, I was a bit surprised
at my dismissal but we were tired and there’s nowhere up there to sit where my
head’d be low enough and out of range of someone’s crosshairs.

“You
know what you are? You're God's answer to Job, y'know? You would have ended all
argument between them. I mean, He would have pointed to you and said, y'know,
"I do a lot of terrible things, but I can still make one of these."
You know? And then Job would have said, "Eh. Yeah, well, you win."

My lower back
could use some stretching. Helicopters
buzz overhead with lazy puffy post post storm clouds keeping the blue room
slightly chilled this Saturday morning.
Doesn’t being on the beach sound like a nice place to be right now in
the middle of March? Thailand is very
nice in March.
There’s a lot to
do but I am slow to start. A class in
progress upstairs, Rezek is buzzing around cleaning things, people in the
office and my door is wide open.

“You are the
nicest egomaniac I’ve ever met”
I got used to
having the room light on at night and I use
the laptop’s light to look at the book for tomorrow’s lesson. I asked Hanukkah to turn on the generator so
I could use the kitchen and for dinner, two eggs and toast with so so apple jam
and a black tea followed by another black tea, toasted pound cake and yet
another tea, oh here comes a thermos and
the generator is turned off. Multiple cloudy
days makes solar energy obsolete.
What? No cloud panels? they have to give us something aside from
rain. Ok. Nice photos.
