Where you at?

I don't know if it's still true, but in New Orleans (pronounced Noo Orrlens when you're in that "neck of the woods"), it used to be that instead of saying How you doin', or What's up? They would say, "Where you at?" I like that.
So, Where you at? Have you been reading a book, watching a movie, fishing, eating, losing money at the casino, or maybe, making money at the casino. If you are making money at the casino, it means you work there.
Time is still flying. I keep trying to slow it down, but the more I jam into it (the more I try to do in a day) the faster it seems to go. The Rolling Stones (a rock'n'roll group) might have time on there side (they sang a song called Time Is On My Side), but I sure don't. It's ok. There'll be time to rest on the way to the next life.
My conversation group for those brave English learners who came to the library today was a wild crowd. There were a couple of women from Puerto Rico (mother and daughter), a Canadian French woman, 4 Tibetan men of whom one is a Buddhist monk, and a Chinese woman. I enjoyed myself immensely (a very large amount). Hopefully everyone else did, too.
Two very important parts of learning any language are, one, you have to try to understand the culture of that language. The other, and maybe most important, is that you have to enjoy yourself while you learn. Life is short. Whatever you do, it is much better to really enjoy it than to make yourself and everyone around you miserable.
Besides, a stressful environment is really not conducive (helping to cause or produce) to learning.
And, for pete's sake, stay out of trouble!
