How Sad a Passage

COUNTESS "This young gentlewoman had a father,--O, that 'had'! how sad a passage 'tis!--whose skill was almost as great as his honesty; had it stretched so far, would have made nature immortal, and death should have play for lack of work." -Act I scene i, All's Well that Ends Well.

Salir de Guatemala y meterse en guatepeor

Spanish lessons have been gold in the sense that the motivation and basics are there to be tapped in the dark days of winter through the dreams of Peru. But how classic is this email today:
Hi J,
How are you?
Did you buy your spanish book?
Ok, probably I will go this weekend at Mabou them, I hope a meeting with you again next week!
It will be my last week in Halifax and I would like to take a souvenir
picture(Ha, ha) of our classes
Enjoy your weekend and be carreful...(the alcohol following you)

I think it was that Sunday in which I showed up horribly hungover and asked for a Spanish description of my state that clued her in to the last thought. Though I am unlikely to heed her warning.
