Today is Isadepäev (Father's Day) in Estonia. Yesterday, I was in the kontserdimaja (consert hall) in Jõhvi, which was opened in this eastern Estonian city in 2005, to hear the Grammy-award-winning Eesti rahvusmeeskoor (Estonian Men's Choir) and the Rahvusooper Estonia poistekoor (Estonian National Opera Boys' Choir) sing songs from "fathers to sons and from sons to fathers". The conductor was the famous Hirvo Surva. He is famous in his own right for sure, but I like him because he is just about the same age as I am and enjoys working with young people...and likes to have a little fun on stage.

As an English teacher from September 2006 to August 2009, I taught students in Tapa, Estonia a little bit about conditionals and reported speech; a little more about creative writing and self-reflection; a few hands-on things about London, England; and, quite by accident, a little something about myself. Below is an attempt at recording and sharing what I saw, thought, experienced, and surmised.
