Alive and Kicking

i have outdone myself this time. i have missed over a month in my posts. not a very good blog writer. fortunately or unfortunately i don't really have any new business; just the usual i suppose. only not really considering i have 13 days of class left. that's right i am almost a real first year teacher. so you may be wondering, "well mr. harrington, are you going to continue this path that you have started down with such recklessness?" my answer would be that yes i am going to continue. though i have not signed a new contract i have not told anyone that i am leaving and being that this is greece i feel that that is about as good as any signed document i could acquire. so i will return in late august to resume my role as the sixth grade teacher at pinewood.

Now this leaves the summer up in the air right? of course not. i will be flying home approximately a week after i get out of school (that leaves me time to call the haz-mat crew to clean my apartment). i fly into jfk in new york and though my brother does not know it yet i am going to ask him to pick me up and then hopefully i ll be able to stay in ithaca for a few days while i settle back into the states state of mind. i will be in the states for about a month and a half and on the table are various trips, motorcycle lessons, sleeping and eating. hopefully i ll see as many of you as possible please track me down and take me out.

i have to thank adam for showing me new tricks with my camera.

Ian! I am having brunch, watching MASH and just had the thought come into my mind... "what in the hell is going on with ian? I guess i will just have to harrass him via e-mail!"
I turn on the computer and here you are! Fantastic! Bloody Fantastic! We will certainly pick you up. I can't wait, and you can stay as long as you want. The day seems even brighter now since reading your post. If you can't tell, i miss you.

Wow. That's quite a camera trick. Did you point it right at that flower and push the button? I was trying to take pictures of the beach houses, but only obtained photos of the waves. Perhaps I should have pointed the camera's lens directly at the houses instead...

Well, we'll have plenty of time for you to teach me that neat trick when you come stay with us in a couple weeks. Can't wait to see you!

actually he taught me how to use the macro focus feature, but yeah i suppose if you had pointed at the house you would have gotten a picture of the house. remind me to throw a bachi ball at your foot when i see you. can't wait.

Be afraid, be v. afraid.... I HAVE FOUND YOU!! Next, it's keith..(insert evil laugh here). Anyhoo, glad to hear that things are going well for you. Things here ticking along nicely. So when you gonna come visit? And when would be a good time for me to come harass you in greece?? I can't believe we've been so close (relatively speaking) and not talked/seen each other!

well malia you have to leave me some way to get a hold of you. if there is no way to get a hold of you then you can never come to harass me in greece; and, while i don't want to be harassed, i would love a visit. Also, there are more and more people that i know living in london; so far, i have avoided going , but soon it will be impossible. so yes we will have to get together. i am going home for the summer but will return at the end of august. you are welcome at any time you have time.
