Jean, Just read your post about leaving Tuesday to teach English in the Ukraine. PLEASE tell me more about your adventures in teaching our complex, English language, and about your former travels. Are you a teacher? I would just love to know more about your experiences. And Herr Richard Reed...you continue to amaze me with the depth of your knowledge about so many different issues. I truly enjoy reading your messages!!! I am keeping notes about the many, wonderful teachings you offer to us as pearls of wisdom on my garland of ignorance. Has anyone heard from Anna? I do hope that they are o.k. in their family, and that they will be back with us sooner...than later! Your WV friend, Sheila --------------------------------- Got a little couch potato?
