Tipping point
There comes a time in every expatriate's life when he can't explain what the hell is going on with The Old Country.
That moment the last time out for me was when I failed to understand a Far Side cartoon. A cow orker (also a Merkin expat but basically grew up here) had a Far Side daily calendar. The lo cal cow orkers would peruse it each day and attempt to decipher it. I was often consulted in cases of non-comprehension. I was utterly unable to explain "The Life and Times of Baby Jessica" being unable to recall who Baby Jessica was and why her travails should be particularly funny.
So, who are Kate and Jon? And why does Gmail think I would be interested?
