My friend Carl thought I might like to see the "drum tower" museum. He gave me precise instructions as to location told me to look for a tower with a bell at the top. I looked all over that vicinity and never found anything that suited the description. On the way back to the center, I got lost. I was about to call the schoolwhere I work for help when I recognized a familiar street. I had walked far out of my way, but I knew how to find my way back.
I showed my friend the day's pictures. Turns out I'd located the drum tower-- see above. I just hadn't known what it was. In a day or two, I'll go back and see the inside of the museum.
I was a professor of curriculum and instruction at East Tennessee State University and am now in emeritus status. Currently, I teach English composition part-time at George Mason University. I have taught in Cincinnati, Turkey, China and the Czech Republic.

Quite an adventure, Roz! I guess that you're having exciting and humbling experiences almost every hour of the day. Hang in there! I'm sure you're looking forward to Joe's visit. We'll miss him here, but we're glad that he's able to make the trip so that you'll have somebody to get lost with! -- the Codys
