Your blog elicited many similar memories and thoughts from my own time in Latin America. I really enjoyed reading it…so thanks! I’m looking forward to hearing about what you’ll be up to next. Take care.

Hey Tim,
Thanks so much for your beautiful writing about all your experiences in the DR. Your deep caring for and interest in your students and the culture they live in shows through in all the details you relate. Sometimes the little things can be the most revealing. Your description of the cockfights, by the way, was vivid enough to make me woozy…yikes. Ease up on the blood and guts, OK? Just kidding. Hhow strange that an event so barbaric is where the men have to take care to act respectably! Take care of yourself, and keep learning, searching and observing for all of us back home!

Hey Tim – I appreciate you taking time to share your intimate experiences online! May you truly truly live every moment – and regret none. And good luck with your Peace Corps application – sounds like your hoping for South America then? I agree with Terry – if you’d write a book I’d read it! Take care!

Hi, Tim! Nathan here. Good post, good read. I feel the same way about wanting to work in a place I care about. Oh, we communityphiles… I have one week of work left in NE Kan., then it’s back to school and the four weddings I have in the next 3 weeks. Proly a good thing, I’m beginning to get VERY lazy around the office. It’s a little shameful, really. I need a mind-vacation. I should go find a meth lab somewhere… ?

You know me…I always like a good rainstorm. A great teacher. ;)Sounds like such a beautiful adventure. I’m sure it feels good to try to capture, to contain, to make sense of it. Makes me want to paint. Have you read Sound and the Fury yet” I have a copy sitting in my room waiting to be opened.I decided not to take the job in Alaska and instead put my adventurous energy to work here in Minneapolis. A good choice. Thank you for your thoughtful insights.Glad you’re doing well.

Wait! Are you telling me alcohol, beaches, making out with beautiful women, and gossip aren’t all they’re cracked up to be” I was really looking forward to watching Real World: Sydney on Tivo… Thanks a lot, Tim.

Tim–You’ll love CRAY THE BELOVED COUNTRY. I read it last year and then watched the movie (not as good, of course). Good to hear how it is going in DR.

Tim: I’m enjoying reading your blogs. Your effective prose makes me feel present. I recognize some matters from time spent in Brazil.
Keep enjoying yourself and staying in touch.
Caution: don’t overwork your adjectives! Remember the power of nouns and verbs. (Some teachers never give up!)David

You need to keep a really detailed journal about your experiences- and then come back and write a book. I’d read it- everything is really interesting so far! Glad you’re enjoying yourself…

Hello Tim,Did you hear about the floods in Kansas” I hope that your town in the Dominican Republic avoids the deluge that the Sunflower state suffered. I gave Nathan L. the address to your blog. Allegedly, Dave Melgren will be in the Dominican Republic in August, so there may be another Jayhawk on another portion of the island.

Tim: Great to get your report from DR. You write well–no suprise there!–and effectively about the perceived life. I catch the flavor of this place. It’s hard to sort out one’s emotions. Keep us posted.
And take care of yourself.
All the best to you,

You actually expect me to read this” Just kidding. It’ll be a great way to hear from you. Then, when you come live in Chicago and work for Casa Central, you can tell me all the stories in person.

This is going to be the coolest blog in the universe. I am very excited. I also commend you for staying sane amongst the pounding carpenters. I almost had a nervous breakdown, and I was only there for two hours of the racket.
