Minus Three Teeth

Well, the wisdom teeth are out and all that goes along with that.  I came to the frightening realization today that if all goes according to plan after I leave on the 2nd of January I will not be back in st. louis again until the middle of  August.  I suppose this is all somehow related to that growing up thing but it’s going to take a little bit of time getting used to it.  Still, Greece, Italy, Belgium and Russia are not something to complain about  and if this visa entanglement gets sorted out it promises to be a wonderful spring/summer, although I still have a quarter of classes up at Chicago to survive before I can begin my adventure.  I hope you all are enjoying breaks and such.   Send addresses for postcards and call if you’re around and would like to hang out before i go back to Chicago.  Or, better yet, visit me in Chicago this coming quarter until March.  Happy various holidays to all.
