Busy days and lots of traveling about, but I will be back!
As I told a friend today, my big goal these days is to finally get my hair cut, something that has been on my mind since before my USA trip. I seem to keep finding Monday to be a good day -- only to remember that, of course, hairdressers (as museums) are closed on Mondays.
So, when I opened up today's "google alert" and found this piece on getting a haircut in Turkey, I had to laugh and pass it along to you.
Maybe I will have better luck when I get back from Trento next week.
a domani,
E

Hey Larc,
I've been meaning to check in here for some time after reading your note in the alumni magazine, and finally got around to it. Well done - lots of interesting stuff.
Though I don't have the decades of expat experience, even I get some "moments" here in the melting pot of Silicon Valley with my little law practice and its cross-border aspects.
And I liked reading your personal insight into the recent Italian elections. As you know I've got a bit of a historical connection with what goes on over there, even though it's a few generations back.
I'll be checking back - warm regards. Ciao.
Hi Paul!!
sorry so long to get back to you.
Going back in time, guess who is visiting me these days -- Susan Amato with her daughter on a Suzuki violin tour. She is also a lawyer (with Italian origins). Keep stopping by and send along any prospects for cross-cultural coaching. I have a client in Arizona,same time zone.
best to you too. Larc
