The worst thing to happen to me today. This also includes yesterday.
I'm sick! My throat hurts and sometimes my spine or ear aches too. Can I go to work? Not like this!
The worst thing to happen Abroad:
In Afghanistan, there has ben a ban on the growth of poppies. This has left (BBC features one man) financial options tight, and has forced the selling of one's daughter to pay off debts. Selling my 6 year old daughter to a creditor's son could be worse than my throat. But I am still really uncomfortable.

The worst thing to happen to me today:
Lindsey and I went out for breakfast. We went to a Mexican Restaurant in her neighborhood. She told me she saw that they put leftover salsa back in the bucket from which our salsa would be served. She said this was common.
The worst thing to happen Abroad:
Somalis may have it worse, as millions are displaced from their homes...not to mention: fighting between rival militias, successive droughts, sharply rising food prices and a collapse of the Somali currency. (BBC)

TO HAPPEN TO ME:
I sent out a text, and did not receive an answer. I've been waiting most of the day for it.
TO HAPPEN ABROAD:
While sitting in the loveliest park in Jersey City, I watched as a homeless man bathed his face in the exact same fountain water as the birds. Later, an already summer-drenched woman followed suit.

MY NEW BLOG
This is the first edition of my attempt at a daily blog called "The worst thing that has happened to me today"
It started on a particularly easy day...where I thought "The worst part of this day has been that I had to plug something in." An idea was born.
So, today The 11th of June.
The worst thing to happen to me so far, was at Starbucks, of course. I almost always get the corner two person table in the window. Today, it was taken. I had to sit in the two person table to the left of it. Sandwiched between two people, feeling exposed with no wall to carry the weight of the room. It was simply awful.
The worst thing to happen abroad?
The BBC reports that "more than 4,000 children in China have been given the name Aoyun, meaning Olympic Games, in the past 15 years." That is slightly more tragic. What will become of these young Aoyuns? Will I ever meet one? Probably not, as they are held captive in their parents love of China...they won't be studying abroad.

Snow
Oh, how do I love snow.
I feel like my luck is beginning to turn around. First, I went to a JOB today...which is fairly major. THEN, I wore my heavy duty boots to work, because I thought it would be cold and it ended up SNOWING while I was in work. It was amazing...it snowed all over Jersey's ugly. only pretty Jersey was left.
However, I feel a bit of sicky coming on. A lot of OJ on my to do list tonight.

Moving uptown to Harlem
Tonight, was one of the single most pleasurable experiences of my lifetime.
Went to "Showman's" a jazz club at 125th street off the B train i believe. Unbelievable. The man of the hour, Joey Morant, was hilarious and an amzing trumpet player and singer. He kept trying to get me to dance, but I was having no part of it. I was wearing a sweater...who dances in a sweater?
He played some good ole tunes, and it was no big deal. That's what I like about this place....play some great music...no big deal. What I don't like...is that we each got 3 drinks (i got two whiskey ginger ales and a beer) and it was $55 bucks. That's a tab. That's a NYC tab.
The night before I went to Rodi Bodi, an Indian food restaurant in Queens. Unchartered waters. it was the most delicious food I have ever tasted. Believe it.
Gordon Smith, gotta quit yo' job and move on up.
Love.
