more of the same

Since I can’t get enough of the Economist’s brilliant Christmas issue, let me share two more articles with you:

  • The others” – on being foreign, living abroad by choice, living in exile, and self-deception
  • A Ponzi scheme that works” –all the reasons why the Economist loves America in one article … in case you needed reminding

Oh, I wrote to the editor about the confusion over types of verb aspect and actually got a response. Turns out I interpreted what “it” referred to in one sentence differently from what the author intended, so I retract my complaint.

I’m way behind on work and a conference proposal (though procrastinating on it), so it’s going to take me longer to write about Morocco. In the meantime, I’ll include beautiful photos of the desert like this one:

(That’s not me on the sand dune. It’s one of our Berber cameleers.)

    I’m afraid I don’t have any more beard shots. I’m disappointed at the low quality of the few that I have. But I have many more of camels!
