Zak and Lonnie at the Lincoln Memorial

Zak and Lonnie at the Lincoln MemorialZak and I spent a lot of time today walking to the major Washington DC memorials. We were most impressed at how many buss loads of Korean nationals came to visit the Korean War Memorial.

At the Lincoln Memorial we saw the words of Dr. Martin Luther King "I have a Dream" carved in the stone at the top step.  I have seen many pictures of this memorial during my life and I never thought that I would actually visit this place with my son.  I was very happy that I could experience this with my son.  We walked a lot today and it was hot and humid but we had a lot of fun.

Georgia on my mind

Texas was not deep enough in the south for me so I relocated to Albany, Georgia. I have been her almost a month and the adventure of living in a new city and working at a new institution are still fresh. This week week as I walked across the campus with my paper notebook in hand I was whistling as I passed through groups of students go to classes. I noticed how everyone of them was either talking on a mobile device or listening to music on them. I marveled at how odd I must seem to them as I walked without having any electronic device turned on and instead i was making the music with my lips. Albany Georgia is a lot like Portland, only smaller and really flat. Albany has the Flint River running through the middle of the downtown area and lots of pine and pecan trees all over.
