Michael Jackson, swine flu virus, and surf
June 26th, 2009The news of Michael Jackson’s death is spreading at the speed of Twitter.
Bali has its first confirmed case of swine flu, a tourist in isolation at Sanglah Hospital, and to be in isolation at Sanglah Hospital is to be…in isolation at Sanglah Hospital. It is its own metaphor.
My three kids and I are off on a two week surf trip, with dozens of books packed. Also sketch pads and oil pens for Darling Daughter. No Internet. By the time I get back MJ’s death will either be true or have been proven to be greatly exaggerated.
And perhaps even more swine flu cases.
There will be no more blog posts until July 10 or so. Then I promise a post on the expat community in Bali, slowly acquiring a higher global awareness now that, gosh, Julia Robertson will be filming parts of EAT LOVE PRAY here later this year.
