Teaching Abroad Forced Me to Unlearn the Lies I Grew Up With
Editor's Note Teaching abroad didn’t give me answers — it stripped away beliefs I didn’t know I was carrying. This essay traces how living overseas challenged my ideas of normalcy, worth, and identity, and how unlearning those ideas made room for something softer and more human.

Asylum
It takes a genius writer with a twisted world view point to create a show such as "Asylum" on the British Broadcast corporation. It was a 3 episode mini series and it is about asylum seekers and how they take asylum in a government building somewhere in London. Who would have thought that you could find humor in such a sensitive subject but the writers have been able to do it with success. It was a drama and a comedy with an audience and a laugh track. Asylum is one of those shows that leave you not knowing where you stand.

Keeping up Appearances
One saturday night i was watching PBS for their British comedy show block that they used to air and I discovered a great sitcom called "Keeping Up Appearances" that I grew to love and any time I saw it was on I never missed the chance to watch it. The plot is simple Hyacinth wants to be high society and goes on ridiculous hijinks and shinanigans to finally be a member of high society and drives all those crazy with her plans and schemes. The show had lasted for many seasons then went off of the air and then had been brought back for a revival in the mid 90's.

Ali and Nino in Batumi, Georgia
I've been wanting to see this statue in person forever. I finally did, last weekend (February 7, 2026). My niece, who is staying with me and will be leaving in a week, desperately wanted to go to a sea (she has been to lakes, ponds, rivers, and oceans but never to a sea) so we decided to make a short trip to Batumi, the third largest city in Georgia (after Tbilisi and Kutaisi) located on the Black Sea shore. It is also a capital of Ajara, one of the regions of Georgia with a distinct culture and traditions. And the favorite place for Russians who fled Putin's war in Ukraine. In our short stay there, we heard a lot more Russian than Georgian in the streets of Batumi.

Jerry Orbach, rest in peace. New York pride.
Jerry Orbach was a true New Yorker. Jerry is one of my favorite actors and my favorite police officer. May Jerry Orbach rest in peace. He was a landmark of New York life until his passing, and whoever declared that made an excellent decision. I heard that when this great man and actor passed away, he had donated his eyes. Some of my favorite acting roles of Jerry Orbach are Lennie Briscoe from Law & Order, Lumière from the classic Disney film Beauty and the and Jerry even had an episode in the classic 1980s horror series "Tales from the Darkside." In the movie "Dirty Dancing," Jerry Orbach's role as Baby's father is my absolute favorite of all his roles.

Made in Puerto Rico
There is a wonderful restaurant that specializes in delicious Puerto Rican dishes and it is called “Made in Puerto Rico”. The employees were cool to let me take a picture with something behind the counter which I would not have been able to get to do without permission. when dining at "made in Puerto Rico" I dined on a fine dish of seafood paella. Simply delicious, I don't recall the beverage. The restaurant is more than a local eatery it has a series of locations aas well so that is to say it is a chain and a wonderful restaurant chain at that. The prices of their offerings are all reasonably priced dishes and beverages and it is truly a little bit of Puerto Rico outside of your door.
