They
were all a long way apart from
one another, and seemed to Go Well.
The pay, the hours, the distances are to be considered here, as we
still do not
know where Joe will work, and where
we will live yet, though we have certain areas we are looking at first.
I
came home with a large bag of lemons
to make health drinks for Joe, and
found his temperature cooling down, from the cold he caught on the
airplane ride over.
Here
I am, with tens of thousands
of Internet readers, just to one of
my sites, and I can only get work as an ESL teacher, and must be happy
with that, for
things could be worse.
Joe
was feeling better enough to go
out and get Chinese seafood take-out
dinner, with small pieces of crab and shrimp and green onions, and we
celebrated just
being in Hong Kong, sitting on our
hotel beds, with pink patchwork quilts, and a noisy air-con, and
drinking lemonade.
We
fell asleep by eleven after watching
a ridiculous TV show about the Da
Vinci Code, that linked together the Cathars, Jesus Christ, Mary
Magdalene, The Templars
and Rosslyn Chapel in Scotland, as
some mysterious plan.
Joe has the attitude of a scientist to all spiritual matters.
The
information that Jesus might have
been married no longer struck me as
interesting, since these stories have been around for a while, and I
said with much sarcasm
to Joe, fresh from the job-hunt,
An
employer will pay
you less if you have a BA rather
than a BEd for ESL, and look into you carefully with international phone
calls, and yet here
are people cooking up a marriage and
family tree for Jesus, based on Gnostic writings only a century or two
after his death.
Why don't we say we just saw a flying saucer land
in rural Canada, back one another up, and no one
will question that, as they rush to give us book and movie deals!
