We are once dedicating one of our entries to tomorrow's leaders (that does sound like something from a '50s PSA doesn't it?) by dedicating this entry to students at North Lamar High School in Paris, Texas, which was made famous by the Wim Wenders film "Paris, Texas," which came out in the mid-80s.
While browsing the school's web site, we found out that the school nickname is The Panthers and apparently school lunches now cost $2.25! They were a mere 60 cents at my elementary school but that was 28 years ago!
Here are my favorite countries that I've never been to:
1. Norway
2. Morocco
3. Brazil
4. Spain
5. Portugal
6. Japan
7. New Zealand
8. Egypt
9. Argentina
10. Kenya
I know the fact that Uzbekistan did not make the list will disappoint our fans in Tashkent, but if the ambassador to your country Ilkhan Nematov * emails me and offers a free trip with a waiver for the visa fee (which was outrageous for Americans visiting Azerbaijan when I went to the capital Baku in 2008), it will topple Norway in the next edition of this list!
*- Yes, we looked up his name on the net, but that is the real Uzbeki ambassador to the USA. If a ninth grade geography teacher from North Lamar HS happens to see this, the Uzbeki capital is indeed Tashkent. Be sure to zing your students with that for their next test!
