With best wishes

With best wishes and deep regrets that I won't be there with you tomorrow

تنها نمان به در

yesterday, as the day before, i saw the same older man, in the same wide-brimmed hat, at the same intersection, ogle a gorgeous blonde.

... can somebody's laugh have an accent?

ergg... nothing i've eaten this morning has worked out.

how to maintain your identity in the move from non-profit publishing to corporate law:

remain totally anal about punctuation following greetings (Hello, Mark, | Mark--Please see below.). while this may make you look arrogant/snooty/overly academic, so be it. perhaps it's useful to learn what it is to be disliked.

....to increase the font size on my monitor.

oy.

you know what, you asshole?? you and your totally english name have no idea what it means for someone to get your name wrong. i have been any number of combinations (Tina, Gina, Mina, Nina, Eye-na); i've even been Hello Rasitsan, if you can believe it. there's no point even talking about what i've heard on the iranian side.

i can be easily, easily forgiven for this mistake. and if you could be even the tiniest bit as gracious as i am in accepting the millions of errors every immigrant encounters every day, we'd all be in a better place.
