Cambodian

For those of us in Cambodia:
Gordon,
You're right. Finding actual useful language information is a drag. It's a pain. It's a dragful pain. After several hours, I have a few:

Biggest Party Ever

Thank Heaven! the crisis-
The danger is past,
And the lingering illness
Is over at last-
And the fever called "Living"
Is conquered at last.


One last fling before reclining into a proper, artistic, morbid isolation:

'Biggest party ever?' you might ask yourself. It's no hyperbole.
We are combining birthday parties, going aways, and house-warmings into one massive collision of festival this upcoming weekend!

Gordon is going away for probably ever. He arrives in Cambodia with a local Cambodian evangelist on the 19th, his birthday. Brian, rather than leaving, is just settling into his Aurora casa (affectionately named 'Borealis'). His birthday is on the ninth. So the first big Aurora party will be Gordon's last. But, hey, at least everybody got born.

Click for directions from a familiar location

Take Hampden east to I-25 southbound. Very next exit is I-225; take that to Parker. Turn right (southeast) on Parker. Second exit is Hampden; turn left (east). Go past Chambers, Buckley, and Tower, and turn left at the top of the hill past Tower at Ceylon. Ceylon 'T's; turn right onto Flanders. Take Flanders to East Bates Drive (one block south of the stop sign at Bates Ave.). Turn right on Bates; I'm 4 houses down -- 19659. If my driveway is already full, park back on Flanders rather than in the neighbor's lawn.

And oh! of all tortures
That torture the worst
Has abated- the terrible
Torture of thirst
For the naphthaline river
Of Passion accurst:-
I have drunk of a water
That quenches all thirst...

I'm telling you, conservative Evangelicals have more in common with orthodox Catholics than they do with liberal Protestants.

Ty's Garage -- the Church in action near Denver, Colorado.

"It is my esteemed pleasure to inform you that Ty's Garage has been incorporated into the nascent global enterprise, Flannery Amalgamated."

(The FlannCo Department of Serving Christ and His Church is run by Ty's Garage.)

"Ty's Garage: A network of old friends and new, designed to bring everyone's smaller circles and isolated cliques together to get some fresh air, to dream dreams, and to change the world.
Fresh air, that is: Hikes, parties, concerts, fires, camping, fishing trips, adventures . . ."

"We are in the same Church, though we go to different churches. We believe the Christian life should not be boring nor should it be idle. Therefore we inform each other about what the Bride is doing in town: local churches and ministries, service opportunities, what we have to give, and what our neighbors need. Ish?"

"Feel free to check out the links, post messages, put events on the calendar, and browse the contact information we keep in the files section. Let me know if any of it is out of date. Buh."

"Ty's Garage:
Originated by Ty Freedman and Brian Flannery.
Member, Flannery Amalgamated."

They corner a slightly different niche of the market, so I think we're okay.
