enjoyably intelligent and spiced with humor

I loved the scene where Michael stole a furtive glance at that native woman--and it was deliciously sensual for just a moment! And who if not Michael could sit in a room with the Dali Lama and make small talk seem as natural and effortless as talking to one's local minister? We are drawn into his genuine curiosity for the world and its peoples like static electrical particles seeking a place to bond. One can travel miles upon miles and relearn everything from 3rd grade but much more pleasurably with Michael as our guide and teacher. He is the epitome of a National Geographic color man...may he trek the globe for us many more times!
