My Cousin Zach

July 16, 2007

My cousin Zach was the first person to leave a comment on this blog. He used this special opportunity, inscrutably, to remark, “donkey chicken”. What the hell? I was compelled to look up the term on Google and there I found the likely reference: the name of a restaurant chain in Korea.

Zach has been teaching English as a foreign language to students in Korea so it was easy to pinpoint the origin of the comment. The thing I don’t understand though is how someone who is long-term vegetarian like Zach could plug a chicken chop shop. I think under the concealment of great distance from his family and friends in Florida, he may be doing a lot of wish-deboning and finger-licking. Good.

Zach has a masters degree and his achievement impelled me to get one of my own. “How could it be that my younger cousin has a degree and I not?” I rectified the situation and completed my MBA program last year. I hope he doesn’t try to go for a doctorate because I am tired of school and I don’t want to have to go back to class to stay even.

Rea Elementary

July 4, 2007

I have added a page about W.S. Rea Elementary School in Terre Haute, Indiana. It is one of three different elementary schools I attended and it is the one where I spent the most number of years. There is surprisingly little information about the school on the internet. There are probably few people who know it ever existed even though it was demolished only 27 years ago.

I would like to know whatever happened to anyone I attended classes with there. My family left town after I completed 6th grade and it would be interesting to know what the path through Chauncey Rose Junior High and North High School would have been like.
