Today, teaching vocabulary a unit on Usual and Unusualness.... first I downloaded "How Bizarre" by OMC something.... but between thinking of that, thinking of that apartment block slowly ramping up Central Avenue in 1987, while I ate a BLT & Egg sandwich with that cute guy at the Frontier, or the herd of Barnum and Baily elephants walking down downtown Albuquerque, and Pedro and I following on our bikes in 1993.... I still remember sitting in my miserable Moldovan living room, still thrilled, but befuddled to be there... having this bizarre bit of heaven come though the TV spectrum.... I blanket of hope caressed me....
