Today was day 2 of the District Conference. We were treated to music and singing; an item by all the Rotary Youth Exchange students in the District which was in Finnish but obviously very amusing to everyone who spoke the language. There were several ...
Lazy day

UGH! Täältä syvältä syöveristä alkaa tutkimusmatka afrikan mustaan sydämmeen, kannibaalien ja villipetojen maahan. (Ei siis Ahvenanmaalle, vaan Namibiaan) Luovun periaatteestani avautua nettiin mihinkään ...

fresh air
Howdy; As I walked along the bike/walking path next to the lake here in Jyvaskyla I decided it was time to play 'Why am I here". I can think of a few pretty good reasons beginning with a nice pay check. Hey, I'm an underpaid teacher and need a summer job ...
