the color of its countries

My good friend Bill once noted that when his online life goes dead, it pretty consistently indicates that his real life is flourishing. I'd like to think that's the case here. It's been a terribly busy couple of months this summer, and I'm just starting to pull out of it -- work, love, and family lives all miraculously intact, I'll note gratefully. Social life, not so much, but I don't honestly mind.

I'll have some pictures to post in a bit of a 10-day visit from my lovely parents, but in the meantime I wanted to note that a new link has been added. You can find it in the bar to the right: it's the class website I created for my Matayom 3 (Grade 9) English class. If you happen to still be following me here and are interested in the voyeuristic thrill of watching 143 Thai students panic about their final exams, dive in. It's a nice glimpse of what I've been covering with them and what they have to say about it, charming grammar slips and all.
