LOST

There are dust devils like I've never seen out here. This one is a relatively small one!

Today we went to visit with a good friend of ours. He is like a 'family friend' I guess and we really like him so I don't want to make fun of him or anything, but here are a few excerpts from our conversation.

'By the way, did I tell you that I am watching lots of television these days?. My favorite show is this one, it is called LOST. Have you heard of it? It is very famous all over the world. It is my favorite because the plot is so serious and realistic. Their airplane just fell from the sky, and on a deserted island of all places! And there are people from all different countries on it, not just white people, and they are learning how to get along. It is my favorite.'

'By the way, did I tell you that I am loving American music, especially American country music? My favorite singer is Dolly Parton. I also like Lionel Ritchie but not Michael Jackson. He's too strange.'

I have to say that I could not contain my laughter when he said that his favorite singer was Dolly Parton. My roommate and I tried to explain Dollywood but he couldn't grasp the concept of an amusement park, much less the play on the word Hollywood. We had lots of fun with that!

A new 'restaurant' (not anything like you're thinking about when you hear restaurant) opened up in town and they are the very first restaurant to serve pizza, even though pizza is very common in the capitol. We had some tonight and decided that it was not good and really not worth the trouble of getting out and going to a 'restaurant'. So we're back to square one with the cooking thing.
