CALL ME SNAKE

It happened again. Another friend, who was back in the States after spending nearly two years in China, got wind of my blog and was so disheartened by that unexpected development that he flew back to China on the first plane he could catch–traveling an even greater distance than that traveled by the friend I drove to Africa last week. Which is all encouraging news to me. The more I keep writing, the more my friends are going to keep dispersing all over the world. In the end, that’s got to be good both for them (the old “travel can be so broadening” principle) and for the world at large. Call it a “win-win”–another unexpected byproduct of “CALL ME SNAKE.” And just remember, you heard it here first.
