riding a motorbike through the city at night is the most exhilarating thing...
next comes being aboard a fishing boat in the ocean with a bunch of leathery old fishermen and being the first one to spot those dolphins off the starboard side... and then keeping them my secret.
and then walking along all the narrow back roads, alleys, and paths through town...
being able to answer the questions that the indonesian people ask me as i walk along the road carries a sense of achievement all its own...
not getting any work done over the weekend because students keep coming to my room to hang out gives me a feeling of purpose which overshadows a lack of accomplishment...
and finally, sitting alone in my classroom, listening to bob dylan at the end of the day... that is positively euphoric.

yeah, i got a husband, so i don't have to impress anyone... but there is the problem that with the lack of running i need to find a way to get more money so i can buy new clothes that fit...
Be careful about running at night, the guards are probably men too and might not always be safe. But it sounds like fun running at night and not worrying about it... here i would be afraid of being attacked by a bear or a lynx or even a moose! and it snowed last night so i would probably freeze. Aaron and I share a skype account and our name is ernquake . Hope all is well on your side of the earth!
