Since my homeboy Derek is getting married in Los Angeles on July 21, and he asked me to be in the wedding, I’ll be in America at the end of next month (he actually asked me 5 months ago, but writing in a more annotated fashion works better for blogs, doesn’t it?).
I’ll be in California from July 14-22, and the Midwest July 22-Aug.4. While in the midwest I’ll work my way from Ames to Knoxville to Kansas City, with about a week spent in the latter. So if you happen to be in any of those spots while I am, make sure to swing by! Most my time will be spent filling up my flesh in what is lacking in regards to food available in Turkey, i.e., pork, pork rinds, pork fritters, and frittered pork.
However, while I’m back in America I’ll still be copy editing for my newspaper in Turkey, albeit online. But thanks to Time Zones, I have to work on Turkish time, meaning my “workday” will start at midnight and end at 9 a.m. But hey, I worked with this schedule at a gas station for two months, so there’s no reason I can’t do it for three weeks.
We need to plan a big shin-dig at our place while you’re back.
hmm… and to think that I had planned on going home around those dates as well… shenanigans might ensue
Jess – yes, Ames shenanigans will ensue
John — yes, even more Knoxville (or wherever youll be at) will ensue
