Vacation Nearly Over

Here we are, still at the East Sea, also still stubbornly 'known' by some people as the Sea of Japan:

Hurricane in No Hurry

But the weather looks ominous . . .

I'm using my iPad, so I won't try to compose anything today.

Another Think Coming . . .

Another Issue to Point Out Outright, Alright?

From the folks who brought us the "I·SEOUL·U" city slogan comes this poster of Seoul utilized to attract tourists by emphasizing the city's charm, elegance, and sophistication through misspelling the last day of the week as "Saterday" (as previously noted), but even more noteworthy are those who put this celebration together, namely, those folks on the Organizing Committee of the SEOUL CHRISTMAS FESTIVAL 2017, the ones who indeed flinched not before the task of ensuring that we tourists be "subjected" to whatever that same committee has come up with as its concept of entertainment!

I showed my students this poster and got a good belly laugh out of them.

"Saterday" - A New Day of the Week?

A New Day

"Saterday"? Is that from the verb "sate" or the noun "Satyr"? Little difference, I reckon. Either way, Christmas looks to be a bit too merry already, here in Seoul.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow . . .

Tomorrow?

Tomorrow is another day that never comes.

It waits for us somewhere between zero and 24 hours away, so if it will not come to us, we must go to it, but how do we get there?

Joyful Treat

For all the help I'd received this past semester, I treated the office staff to something special yesterday:

The box held mysteries to be revealed:

Six mysteries, in fact! Obtaining the cakes was well worth the effort, for everyone looked very happy, and they later sent me an email:

Dear Jeffery Hodges +_+

Hello. This is GLEO.

We wanna say Thank you very much for your beautiful cake. We are so touched. Happy Summer!

See you soon^^

Best,

GLEO

I don't know what +_+ and ^^ mean, but I assume they don't mean "drunk" and "even drunker"! Whatever these hieroglyphic marks might depict, I'm looking forward to one relaxing month . . .
