The life of the mind sometimes breaks through from the neurone zone to the concrete and flesh down on the street. Walking uphill to “J” and “K” Buildings at Woosong University, laughing with Liz about what we would do with our 1,000 won per student honorarium for our morning’s forced labour and enjoying the thought that today is Wedding Anniversary day, the neurone zone was made flesh.
First of all, it has to be clear that the thought was there to be enjoyed because Lyn had already sent me a card, complete with funny wobbly bits. Otherwise, well…let’s not go down that road.. A bright Daejeon morning, absence of yellow dust and the thought that I’m still, after nine years, swept off my feet by uxorious love.
And I was. Bowled over. Swept off and under even. A Hyundae, driven by a young lass (going to my oral exam up the hill?) powered through me. I wasn’t there it seems. Perhaps I was taking time off in some neurone zone.

You have made me very cautious about walking the streets of Korea…thanks for the heads up on the random “rack up the points” driver…;-)
looking forward to your next post!:-) And still being careful about crossing streets.
