It's late, and when I'm not listening to Turkish radio, sometimes I sing the blues in my apartment. Tonight I forgot the lyrics to my favorite song.

Working, Writing...
This was very nearly to be my last blog post.
Then I received an incredible letter from one Christopher Robison, and I've decided that what I can do to keep up with those of you who show me such good love (aside from letter-writing back to you), is keep up this blog in as faithful and entertaining a manner as possible.
I am going to say this: writing a good post takes me a long time. So, in the next months, as my schedule changes slightly at work, I hope to balance the quality and quantity of the writing.
Erich and I talked, and I am going to apply to renew my grant so that I can stay in Turkey another year and work on exam-writing and planning a conference in Bolu for the fall. I love it here, and I love the work that I get to do, and Erich loves me so generously that he can appreciate how much the work and language-learning mean to me.
We had an incredible time during his visit here. That said, we were so busy traveling and having adventures that I didn't take the time to train for running a half marathon. I am going to contact the race organization to have my registration changed to the 10km, which is a run I know I can do already. So I'll be in Antalya the weekend of that race, but I'm going to take it easy instead of punish myself.
I hope all of you have a lovely Valentine's Day, and I hope you know that I am thinking of you!
