Haven't heard the first of my given names in its English pronunciation so much since I left the U.S.-based school I attended Medellin, Colombia, halfway through fourth grade.

I am not cocktail-partying on it, though. I kind of still expect to.

My namesake seems to bring such destruction to Jamaica.

We left for the Netherlands, by the way, where I was put in fourth grade. If I recall correctly, since the school in Colombia programmed the school year along the calendar year, and the school in Wolfheze did it along the academic year, I must have spent something like fifteen months in fourth grade.

It always ends up being about your experiences, doesn't it?

Don't you just hate it when they insist on being the center of attention?

And always with such things you'd rather not know, even.

Hon, I sometimes feel as if I've spent fifty years in fourth grade.
