    Loved it Mama,

    Jon Stewarts show is so funny... And the good ambassador is so brave and has no idea the whole thing is a joke...

    I agree... Holywood awaits!

    Sending you warms wings of laughter to embrace you,

    @Kihumba, Rose-Anne and Rebecca - He did well, considering how much more uptight other diplomats are...He participated in a conference we (AKPA) organized and he is a really swell guy.

    Oh, dear, oh dear. He did a good job, though. I'm amazed he didn't clobber the Brit...

    @Todd: I think John Oliver is trying to be like a Sacha Baron Cohan aka Borat. LOL!

    @Stine: I know, a lot of folks feel that he went over the top with that Union Jack stuff!

    @Quiskaeya: Karibu. Glad I had something humorous for you... :-)

Swallow me whole without sedation. Sample the truth my heart's vibration. Limb by limb take me in. In every crevice you will find Hints Teetering, dancing around life's rim.

See the World, No Visa Required

Early last month a friend sent me an email with the subject FW: Student Cultural Exchange. "Exciting opportunity," the two words leaped at me as I slugged three short paragraphs to grasp the important details. Age range: 13-16, male or female. Commitment: 1 week, July 6th to 13th. I made note that only eight privileged friends were recipients of the message. Until I read the last sentence, "Feel free to share with others!" My friend is charming, but she is also practical. Interestingly, our thirteen-year-old conceded reluctantly to the novel idea of hosting a Chinese student for one week. My guess is that his regular summer routine - daily swim team practices, and swim meets every Thursday evening - causes little anxiety. In addition, sticking to his assigned school projects and reading lists, is easy and comfortable.
