(Student: "Is it true that all Emily Dickinson poems can be sung to the tune of 'The Yellow Rose of Texas'?" Me: "Uh, I don't think so...but let's try it: 'Ohhh, because I could not stop for death he kindly stopped for me...".) Anyway, that was a great performance, and you looked like you were having great fun. Have any students (or Chinese faculty) asked for lessons yet?

It's a grey morning and my second day back at work after Will's and my trip to Ireland. All in all, I'm seriously discombobulated. Being able to see the video of you two dancing really made me smile. You come through so well, put on a good show, and best of all look so happy doing it! Keep it up! Wow! It’s a grey morning and my second day back at work after Will’s and my trip to Ireland.
