Atamyrat Man Takes Gold in La Paz
Oh fantastic news.
A neighbour Bruce of a camel driver friend of my brother's taxidermist's niece's best school friend's piano teacher's limo driver's uncle has recently had the honor of representing Turkmenistan in the International Sombrero Olympiad in La Paz - Bolivia. (And yes I know there are 8 people there and I should have been able to do it with seven - but what the heck - the real point is that Bruce and I are connected - that's what counts!)
Well it's not really. What really counts is that Bruce (a second generation Australian-Turkmen who is well known on the local club circuit) took the gold medal in the 800 metres rhythmic still life oil painting competition with his composition:
"Sombrero surrounded by Lilies and Pansies"
(And many thanks to the judges from Tajikstan and Armenia for giving Bruce well deserved scores of 10 and 10 for technical merit and superior brush control.)
This will get Atamyrat on the Map for sure!
(By the way - a number of kind and helpful readers have sent me maps of Turkmenistan showing me that Atamyrat is already on the map. Hey folks - it's a metaphor! Let's focus on the main game and not get distracted with details here!)
Let's all agree that Atamyrat is on the Map!
