1. Jobs include being a temporary secretary through Kelly Temps, technical drawing of archaeological samples (ceramics).

2. Picture a small church in a small clearing in the woods at the top of a little hill on an island on a lake somewhere in Bavaria. It is April. Wet snow is falling. Next to the church an area about the size of a two car garage has been excavated to a depth of about 50 cm, exposing a jumbled layer of human bones, all well preserved but not articulated.
Standing among the bones is me, with a sheet of graph paper on a very large clipboard that I'm trying to keep dry while drawing the bones with fingers too cold to hold a pencil. Do not, under any circumstances, try to erase anything on the wet spots. Within ten minutes it's all wet spots. Miserable, but it's not all bad: an attractive young woman is helping me by measuring the bones so i can draw them at the correct scale. At the bottom of the hill is a warm vacation villa where the rest of the team is drinking cocoa and waiting for us to finish.

3. Eagles, then tigers. I transferred.
