Merle,
Aww-w, shucks, Mizz Merle (looking down at his shoes).
You flatter me.
Don't be hasty: please compare me to at least a few black-, brown-, or
grey-robed teachers, first. But I am, however, officially in the Buddhist
hierarchy an "Upasaka". It means, "Layman". ;-) (no, seriously).
If you so declare yourself, you have "Upasika" status right now!
(I'm an Upasaka; and you're an Upasika: That's Oooh-Pa-SEEKA).
I'd better take a cooling-off period before I start my school. I won't start
it right away, I mean. There! That's settled. Whew.
How about "Mañana"?
Now, here in these parts, "Mañana" means in one or two days, or maybe in a week
or so, or in a few months, or maybe after the first of the New Year, in one or
two years (this is not as bad as it sounds. I have lived in places in South
America where even the word "mañana!" was a dirty word).
So OK.
It's set.
Thank you, Cousin!
