This weekend was another good chance to rest up, stay inside and out of the rain, and do some cooking and relaxing. I’m a big fan of doing nothing on the weekend – I spend 95% of my workday talking with students, and sometimes having a quiet weekend with Kuniko is just what the doctor ordered.
The big topic this weekend was the terror attacks in Paris, France. It seems like this kind of thing is becoming more common unfortunately, but when I think about all the good people around the world, and the acts of kindness that happen every single day that don’t get a big media story, well, in my mind the good guys are coming out way ahead of the bad guys. We’ll be back in Paris – it is one of our favorite cities – and we’ll continue to travel regardless of these kinds of attacks. If we die traveling then so what? We die doing what we love.
Speaking of doing what we love, we’re gearing up for a quick trip to Singapore. We’re going during the rainy season, but it’ll be warm and humid while we’re there. We plan on eating everything in sight – I’m bringing plenty of antacid just in case. Before the trip, we’ve got a busy class schedule this week, so first thing’s first.
