A few days ago, Susan-from-the-office, came to deliver a letter and she stayed to visit.
We were talking about a variety of things.
Susan brought up the topic of our evaluations and she was enjoying thinking about some of the
student comments saying "Dr. Wright is so handsome."
I tried to explain that the words 'handsome' and 'beautiful' are commonly used in China and
that they could be replaced by other words, such as 'good looking' or 'healthy looking,' etc.
My comment was that usually we would refer to movie stars as being handsome. People
like Brad Pitt.
Susan was processing this. (I can tell by the focused look on her face when she is thinking and puzzled)
Then she replied, "No, Don is beyond handsome!"
When Don returned home and we had a chuckle about this, I thought, "Maybe his fun teasing with
the office girls has paid off for him."
And look at my favourite picture of Don.
Maybe Susan has a point.
