An English teacher's blog about his travels and his digital art.

Quiet

Yeah, everyone’s gone, more or less. Many of the Dominican players left after practice yesterday to spend the weekend in their hometowns and most, if not all, of the foreign players hopped on the team bus to spend the day in Santo Domingo. I, however, am staying here to work on this week’s lesson plans. I have to go to Santo Domingo tomorrow or Tuesday to apply for my work visa and do some shopping for supplies, books, etc. I’ll go to SD next Sunday with the players or into Boca Chica.

There are some strange, but beautiful, insects here. A few nights ago I saw a large one that looked like a bright green leaf, and last night I walked onto the balcony and noticed a small beetle with glowing eyes. I don’t know if they glowed from some internal mechanism or if they soaked up the light from the overhead bulbs on the balcony. I turned the balcony lights off and the eyes still glowed, sort of a radioactive green color. Very beautiful.

What happened to the Tigers last night, all you Detroit fans? They better get on the ball. Maybe Big Mo (momentum) has deserted them after their long lay-off.

    So, are you sleeping under your mousticairre (sp) ?

    You look to be having a blast but I’m glad to hear you’re actually working !

    Poor Tigers ….. but stranger things have happened, no ? New batting coach in Boston (we’ll miss Papa Jack for sure) Lots of changes in the wind for the BoSox in the off season but if all they concentrate on is pitching, we may be ok. How about that Tavares … coming back from oblivion at the end of the season ?!?!?!?

    Stay well, old man.
