Next week my travel time to work will take roughly 24 hours and 35 minutes longer than usual.

I’ll be 7,550 miles away from home, opening up my laptop to write in Ethiopia. That’s 12,160 kilometers, folks (when in Rome, as they say, or in this case, Addis Ababa É)! It’s a unique assignment: I’ll be participating in the First International Havemeyer Foundation Workshop on Infectious Diseases of Working Horses and Donkeys.

Keeping with the workshop’s theme, I’m going to include variety of donkey idioms in this post for your enjoyment. (Because everybody loves a good donkey saying, right?)
