My blog is always incomplete till she comments, so here it is.....<br /><br />Another delightful post! Dan sounds like a fun friend! But please be careful of this AmericanDude-ification! I'd hate to think of you gunning the engine on your jacked-up pickup on your way to get a six-pack of Bud and some pork rinds, admonishing bicyclists to "get on da sidewalk!" as you barrel past them within a hair's breadth... <br /><br />I know what you mean re: this "alien of extraordinary ability" thing. I haven't seen it from your side, but from a few others. The worst bit seems to be dealing with the "What do you mean they won't let you work?" from friends and acquaintances. Amazing how governmental policies can affect feelings of self-worth. I wonder if there are specialized visa therapists that treat this problem....<br /><br />I'm still a little puzzled by your accent problems since yours doesn't sound strong to me. But surely you must be familiar with the time-honored American traditions of looking stunned and fabricating coffee orders... ;-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379808098940760861noreply@blogger.com
