| 15th July 2006 Mechelle | White coats? - From: Christmas in July I think you might be an escaped mental patient! Only you would sing with Santa in Armenia while eating pork sticks!!!! Good times! Can't wait to see you when you get home. |
| 13th July 2006 Dave | foreign travel - From: Christmas in July As far as I can tell, teaching in Armenia is exactly like teaching in Florida, but with better food. |
| 12th July 2006 jan | what's everyone saying.JP - From: Christmas in July is thre some way I can see other people's comment's? |
| 5th July 2006 michele p. | - From: Brushes with fame and Kalfka Do you think if you use the furniture polish on your head it will work as well as the suntan lotion on the furniture? Maybe you should try it. Miss you. |
| 3rd July 2006 Jackie | 'cause he looks like you! - From: Brushes with fame and Kalfka I had to laugh. I think you connected with Garegin II because he looks like you - when you have a beard! Maybe you are related and just now connecting? You sound good - sorry you still cry sometimes. Take care. Jackie |
| 26th June 2006 debra | deja vu - From: Penis sheers and the Matrix unplugged That window and that table look exactly like your setup at Disco Julie's. I bet the view out the window is different, though. |
| 26th June 2006 Terri | getting to know you - From: Penis sheers and the Matrix unplugged Hi Jon....I finally got your TravelBlog and really enjoyed it...what a circus you are living in, it makes Grover Lane seem BORING... we too have potholes and potential land mines just no dominatris shoes or women even willing or able to bend down to tie them up or on, instead you can find women in their pajamas carrying cups of coffee, walking their dogs or sweeping plums off the drive way and ducking from overly protective parenting birds...phew, what a long sentence...anyway, your life sounds positively delightful and somewhat intimidating but there's no place like home (Santa Cruz) so we'll look forward to your addition to the 'Lane'... Terri |
| 26th June 2006 Natasha | russkii iazyk - From: Penis sheers and the Matrix unplugged Mne ochen' nravitsia tvoi dnevnik. Ochen' khorosho, cho ty izuchaesh' russkii iazyk. Fotografii otlichnie! |
| 24th June 2006 anonymous | - From: Unaligned Planets and Crossed Stars It is not Gerhard Monestery, but Geghard. |
| 22nd June 2006 nancy | Daisys? - From: Unaligned Planets and Crossed Stars hi jon...nice to see what appear to be gerber daisies on the altar....a bit of color in the rather bleak surroundings...also is that mary above the altar? good to see the feminine instead of the usual blooody jesus,our saviour, holding court in the chapel. enjoying your writing... its a pleasure to keep up with your trip. back to big sur tomorrow...back to the slow, slow computer.....i have given up trying to be patient. so catch up when i'm here. later. |
| 19th June 2006 marina | - From: Unaligned Planets and Crossed Stars I just read Jake the part about the "deserts" (which I found hilarious) and then told him, "Honey, this is from the land of your ancestors." And he said, "Oh no! No wonder everyone at school thinks I'm mentally insane." |
| 14th June 2006 Jan Pearce | Madonna - From: Thunder-less in Yerevan I really like that last Madonna, is there a poster? in the soo many enemys book they had heat that was turned on on citywide date as well |
| 13th June 2006 Nancy | good job!! - From: Thunder-less in Yerevan Jon, just got to my computer today, (sort of computer and cell phone less) actually kind of a nice reprieve! Great stories and pics! really fun ! Later.... |
| 13th June 2006 Maria MacDougall | Rabiz Party - From: Thunder-less in Yerevan Hi Jon, I love your comments and photos of Armenia. You referred to the Rabiz Party as the new "low brow culture". By this description, do you mean they are gigilos of Armenia, looking for the right foreign woman to pay for their services? |
| 9th June 2006 ceiny | thanks - From: Pilgrim's Progress corinne forwarded me your blog. what an engaging writer you are. . . and funny. thanks for the thorough, candid view of this part of the world and your reactions to it. i'll look forward to more. |
| 8th June 2006 Somala | What An Adventure! - From: I arrive Great pictures and description! Can't wait to see more =) |
| 7th June 2006 Rudy | Metallica RULEZ - From: Pilgrim's Progress My life seems tame and ordinary after looking at your page. Go git 'em big gaaah! You've inspired me to head down to Molera to camp, though I doubt I'll find minks or Soviet caps for sale! |
| 6th June 2006 Adele | what the Soviets hath wrought - From: Pilgrim's Progress It's wonderful to read about your pilgrimage through post-Soviet land. The beautiful images are the mountains and the churches, the latter of which are done in pure Armenian style. The rest of the buildings are Soviet monumental, dismal reminders of Soviet political power .The worst was Stalinist baroque which still dots the periphery of Moscow. Keep it up Jon. We're all very proud of you. |
| 5th June 2006 Mechelle | Wow! - From: Pilgrim's Progress Very cool blog Jon, keep writing! |
| 31st May 2006 Adele | lux - From: I arrive The Russians would call this apt "lux" This is about ten times nicer than anything I ever ever stayed in in the former Soviet Union. Most of the places I stayed were kommunal'ki or communal apts. Common hallway, bath, kitchen, corridors. One room each for each separate family. Entranceways still haven't changed. My friend Nina is still trying to get the local drunks out of the elevator at night in her apt building in St. Petersburg. |
| 30th May 2006 diane | wow - From: I arrive Jon, Thanks for including me in your travelblog! I love your writing and look forward to more. Stay well. Diane |
| 30th May 2006 marina | thank you - From: I arrive I loved reading your journal entry and seeing the photo's of your arrival in Armenia. It's amazing to me how much it all means to me considering my pretty tenuous connection to my heritage. I know at best three or four words of Armenian, I've never been to Armenia, most of my Armenian relatives are gone and have been since before my birth, my knowledge of Armenian history is border-line pathetic...But while reading your entry, by heart was beating faster and a couple times my eyes filled with tears. I feel this strange kind of pride welling up. I'd love to forward all this to my dad - I think he'd really get a lot out of your writing. Then again, at 83 he might just find it too heart breaking. I don't know. |
| 30th May 2006 Gayle | Thanks - From: I arrive Jon - Peter passes your logs along to me, which I appreciate and enjoy. I imagine each day will bring new adventures and friends. On dining alone - excellent opportunities to observe people being people. I look forward to your next update. |
| 30th May 2006 Libby | How great - From: I arrive Jon this sounds like so much fun! (the adventure of the trip) I love the details like the kitchen sink reminding you of a submarine and each aisle of the supermarket being a separate business. (I always spend a lot of time in supermarkets when I travel: fascinating) Have to admit that I laughed out loud at the part about you getting into the songs on the plane and bursting into tears. I love our generation!! Please keep sending the emails about where this blog is -- I can never seem to remember the URLs of blogs. THIS SOUNDS REALLY COOL AND FUN! (spending time in Armenia) I will read the other ones to see where you are going next. |

| 13th January 2006 Sally Lemee | I'm envious - From: devil dancing and elephants Hi Jon, have been enjoying your blogs greatly. I'm jealous that you get to see all this wonderful culture -- especially the wild life (and wild life dancers) and this poor slob has to work for the state....ha. . Talk to you when you get back about a possible teaching opportunity. Do you know Postgress? Continue on with good stories. Be safe, Sally |
