I turn on CNN and, instead of Anderson Cooper, I see: Eye On Mongolia! A word from our sponsor, via the CNN site, at right.
Actually it's a very interesting show. The segment on Mongolian "throat singing" is especially enlightening.
This is part of the surprising joy of life on the road.
That is all.
[No it's not! Update: thanks to reader N.L. for a tip about Genghis Blues, a film about a blind San Francisco blues singer who decides to become a master of Mongolian "throat singing." I will check it out.]
