P is for Ten in Paducah, KY
The Southern Illinois University interviewer advised I would need to be in Carbondale within ten days. To help me plan the trip, he described the location as being 70 miles from Paducah, Kentucky, and 45 miles from Cape Girardeau, Missouri. I still had no idea where Carbondale was. This post is one in a seriesContinue reading “P is for Ten in Paducah, KY”

I is for Ten in Iran
I learned in Iran that referring to the future requires only three terms: tomorrow, after tomorrow, and in ten days. For the first year there, I persisted in behaving those terms meant the same thing as their English equivalents. Tomorrow to me meant the day after today. And after tomorrow meant a day or twoContinue reading “I is for Ten in Iran”
