Thirsting for good conversation

It's Saturday morning and everyone is watching Pop-Eye, the Sailor Man.  Our other assistant, Mariuz, who is a wonder, doing everything from attending to the physical and psychological needs of the most dependent core members to fixing the washing machine, to cooking most of the meals, is a good looking, young man from Poland, who also wears a hearing aid.  His accent is very hard to understand.  So you see how I am yearning for some adult communication.  I would  love to have a closer relationship with the two Sisters of St. Joseph on campus, but both are house coordinators with a myriad of responsibilities, and I rarely see them.

My day off begins at 9:00 p.m. tonight with Sunday and Monday free.  Monday I practice with my old tennis team. I won't be able to play competitively with them, as their matches are on Thursdays, but it's just great to be out on the courts again, if only briefly. We have yoga class here on Thursdays and cardio exercise on Fridays.  So I just really need to exercise my mouth once in awhile.
