Standing in front of this boarded-up house, as Linh excitedly took picture, he had to interpret the words for me, "I love you." For me, the boarded house still tries to speak and help the lost (like me) get over the difficulty of having daily conversation with those I profess to love.
Am tuning into CNN now, and cast away what the house said.
In college, Chuck studied Bulgarian, I'm not kidding. Chuck was chosen to be a Fulbright scholar to Bulgaria but his trip was canceled at the last moment due to Cold War politics.
French and Spanish may mystify Chuck, but don't try to slip any sly Bulgarian past the man.
When wife Carol and I were dating, Winter-Spring 1986, we used to go on dates, and having little expendable money, we'd go "parking" on deserted Taylor back roads. Preparing to study Pan Slavism's impact upon the Bulgarian revolution. I had to gain a measure of fluency in the language. So in between smooches and embraces, I'd momentarily look at my car's dashboard where I had duct taped Bulgarian verbs, and their conjugation. These days, Carol and I chuckle about our scholarly "romance" and she definitely remembers more passionate Bulgarian words than I do.

Hi all,
In college, Chuck studied Bulgarian, I'm not kidding. Chuck was chosen to be a Fulbright scholar to Bulgaria but his trip was canceled at the last moment due to Cold War politics.
French and Spanish may mystify Chuck, but don't try to slip any sly Bulgarian past the man.
