Yesterday, we were advised by Henry David Thoreau to simplify our lives of too many details. By definition, then, my life is far from simple. It runs on detail. My suitcase hardly has time to cool off between cookery travel these days. This coming Tuesday marks the start of my longest teaching tour ever - 5 months on the road.
There's twenty-nine flights, plus assorted car trips, bus trips and train trips. An enormous amount of planning - many months in fact - has gone into fine-tuning this, from travel arrangements and accomodation to individual timings and topics of classes, translation work, to the minutest shopping lists. I'll be teaching over 77 classes.
Those that know me personally can attest that I enjoy doing this, and do a pretty good job.
When the time comes to hang up my apron, I'll try to take Thoreau's words to heart. For now, its details, details.
If you're interested, here's my schedule.
