Monkey Business

In African folklore the monkey is considered to be equally smart and lazy.  For instance, there is the story about the time when...but I suppose I should wait and tell you that one in person.  Suffice it to say that monkeys are considered to be very smart, and have not earned that reputation by chance.  They're like little children, really, they seem harmless and cute and then they pull off some con that has you scratching your head and wondering how they thought it up.  And like any truly good con artist, they bind their victims with a vow of absolute silence.  For who would ever admit to being outwitted by a monkey?

Coming to America (Part 3)

Well, I made it out of London, and I think I'm headed in the right direction.  Now for a brief layover in Montreal before finally entering America.  I've had dealing with Canadians before, and if there is one thing I do know about them, it's that they're both rich and totally insane.  Which is a great combo when you're interested in making lots of money.  And I started getting ideas as soon as the plane touched down at the airport...

Touchdown!!!  Somewhere...  But, did I really make it to America?!?  I was supposed to go to the "Wild West", and yet I can't see any Cowboys, Indians, or covered wagons.  Even more disturbing,  it's 8:30 am according to my watch, But The Sun's Not Up!  I didn't get on the wrong plane somewhere...did I?

Cowboys and Indians and Gunfights, Oh-my!  Studying in America is sounding more and more difficult and dangerous by the minute!  Will I even get there?  I have no idea, but one thing's for sure, Heathrow Airport in London will surely be an adventure...
