One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slept all morning on the roof without getting sunburnt.
Slept all morning up on a rickety platform several stories high under some bright green trees and only got a little sunburnt.
Slept on a freight train and only got dirty.
Slept at the dacha and woke up without a hangover.
Slept in the park and didn't get arrested.
Slept on the side of the highway and didn't get cold.
Slept at home and got to work on time...

Chasing vodka with bits of grilled meat, the hot fat dripping down my hands.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I was a language teacher by trade, so I could certainly help you with your English. What do people usually learn from being around me? Probably something about spontaneity or the dangers of thinking too much.
