Jon Crispin's Notebook

Cris and I are on our way to Nepal.  She has some work on an early grade reading project funded by UNICEF and I am tagging along.

There was a great selection of music on the plane which helped while away the 12 hour flight.  I was shocked to see Trout Mask Replica as one of the “Essential Albums”.  I first heard it in college when my friend Greg Trout played it for me.  He told me that his grandmother bought it for him only because of the name.  I never thought I’d be listening to “Moonlight on Vermont” at 35,000 feet.  It is an amazing record.  I also watched the  live broadcast of the opening match of the 2016 Euros.  France 2 Romania 1.  What a world.

Four hour layover in Dubai and then off to Kathmandu.  I hope to post quite a lot providing we have internet access.
