I just realized that the word “Accommodate” has two ‘m’s. That just doesn’t look right to me. I’ve also had a problem with the word “independence.” I used to spell it with an “a” as in “dance,” because that’s what independent people do, as we will see tomorrow when Kosovars celebrate one year of independence, much to the chagrin of Russia and Serbia.

My penence for not posting in so long is to choke my way through 30 seconds of Albanian for you.

Here’s the translation:
“I have spent my time well here in Albania. I have one small problem: my stove doesn’t work. Yesterday, I tried to fix it, but it still doesn’t work. I don’t know why. But it means that it’s very difficult and very slow to cook dinner. The weather is a little cold – 5 degrees (C), and I think (I hope) that after two or three weeks spring will come with very nice weather. Goodbye!”
