I am told that Europe is a continent.

But it is also a lot of other things.

In the interest of our edification, I present:

Europes

I have no idea what the title means but then Europe doesn't mean one thing either.

I have been to Europe. Some parts of it. And right away we have to ask whether going to England is the same as going to Europe. Is the UK a part of Europe?

Yes and no. Go look at the Europes.

When it comes right down to it, I have been to France and Germany. Scandinavia various parts. I ate reindeer meat. It made me ill. Dancer and Prancer.

I am not bragging about all this travel. I went where the work took me and, I must admit, I had a limited curiosity about any of the countries other than the peculiarities of their conference centers.

I am not proud of this ignorance. But I am not ashamed either. It is sort of like I don't give a shit.

Sad but true.

Besides, there are too many Europes to handle.
