closer...

we are about a week away from finishing construction. After some serious cleaning, and extermination, maybe we can, for the first time in over a year, unpack our suitcases.

We were sad that some of our visitors had to postpone their trip to Mwanza. But we have others coming in a couple weeks. Hopefully, Mungu Akipenda (if God wills), they will be staying in our new house.

Had fun the other day with a young Maasai warrior. We were walking down a road, and he was teaching me Kimaa greetings, when we started hearing loud popping noises and sparks started falling all around us. The universal instinct to run hit us both, and we ran together from the power line above us. Of course, there was no real danger, but I can boast that I kept up stride for stride with a man whose genes predispose him to hunting lions... for about 30 yards.

one day, when we get our computer fixed, and when they replace the phone cable stolen from our neighborhood, we will be able to post some pictures. Until then, only blurbs from the internet cafe. Thanks for coming by!

Because you guys are probably the only other people I know who would actually care about this...I'd like to share that (drum roll)
Harry (as in the Dirty Dog) by Gene Zion, has turned 50. So you can now consider the boys' Harry books vintage or classic, and also limited editions since they have now released new editions.
