05/30/2005: "Tropics"

I heard from SIT about the Burkina Faso position--it has been filled. Too bad. I am a bit disappointed, but I was aware that the competition for this one position would be tough. I'm still waiting to hear about the Indonesian positions, but don't expect to find out anything until the end of this week, probably. The SIT people also offered to put me on the list of candidates for Tunisia, but by the time I replied, that position had also been taken. Then they offered to put me on the list for Turkmenistan, but I declined--too cold in the winter. I gotta get to the tropics!

It's been tropical here lately--beautiful, clear, sunny days and temperatures in the 70s and 80s, great weather for hiking, bicycling, etc. During the recent time off for the university festival, I played tennis three days in a row with some other teachers, the first time I had played tennis in over 30 years! Great fun, especially since I didn't hurt any body parts.
