He'd Walk a Mile for a Camel

Camelridesmall

For the events leading up to this spectacular photo of our man in Mongolia, watch this video:

We took a ride last Thursday night to the country outside Ulaanbaatar.  Along the way, we encountered this camel.  The voices you hear in the background are of the young Mongolian man trying to negotiate the terms of a ride; U.S. Ambassador Mark Minton; Kevin Nolan, an intern in the Embassy (whose speech moves fluently from English to Mongolian); David; me ("I don't want to get on") and the compliant camel.

Camels make such remarkable noises.

What a world we live in! Sometimes the internet really delights me.

Radio

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness
of Teddy Wilson
"After You've Gone"
on the piano
in the corner
of the bedroom
as I enter
in the dark
