Meandering thoughts from Morocco

I'm on my own this weekend.  Doris is off to Oxford to give a lecture and hang with her buds.  I'm wrapping up the semester.  Next week is the last day of classes and then finals.  It has been an interesting semester.  I have to admit that I'm looking forward to the break.  I won't know whether or not I'll be teaching next semester or not until January.  It will depend on how many students enroll at the Language Center.  If I don't get a teaching gig at AUI, I can either look for a teaching job at the American Language Center in Fes or Meknes or just enjoy being retired for awhile.

Later this month we will be in Germany.  Christmas in Bad Soden with family and a visit with friends in Berlin.  It's always fun spending time with our friends, Norbert and Gertrude, in Berlin.  They have this huge old house and there is always lots of good food, wine and beer with great conversations.   We will then meet with some friends, Howard and Marla, in Frankfurt; they are flying in from the States.  We will spend a few days together in the Black Forest in Bavaria at the "spa" for a little post-holiday indulgence and hanging with friends. It will also be a sad time since this will be our first Christmas without Elfriede. She is greatly missed.
