So I started to write an entry about the Agahozo Shalom Youth Village and the Genocide Memorials that we went to see, but I didn’t have enough time to finish it.  I’ve since returned from our mountain gorilla trek and I think I’d be doing a disservice if I didn’t include something about that as […]

Things can go from bad to worse in a heartbeat.  It was amazing how hope alone kept us all believing that those planes would actually be moving today.  Denial is a powerful, powerful emotion.  Kenyan Airways went so far as to check people in, corral us in the waiting area, show us our plane, gas […]

Kenya Airways picked a pretty nice time for a strike. I am currently amidst my 12 hour layover in the Nairobi airport courtesy of the strike. To be honest, I really hope it’s only 12 hours. It could easily be more if the strike doesn’t end by morning. I’m not too hopeful since it’s Sunday. […]

I was having dinner with some good friends last night and we got to talking about dreams.  First let me give them both a huge congratulations on an incredible meal.  However, as we were enjoying said amazing food, I mentioned that I was one of those people who rarely, if ever, remembers his dreams.  We […]

  I don’t really know where to start.  Perfect weekend.  I can’t really put it into words yet, but I couldn’t have asked for more.  I’ll be sure to put a little more up once I process the whole experience myself.  Until then, here are a couple of my favorites.  There are so many great […]

Shhhh, don’t tell Marion that I just used this metaphor to describe my life.  Yes the season just ended, but if you think that a 5 week championship season and the national championships are a source of many “To Do” lists, then you’ve never planned a wedding.  To be honest, she’s doing about 10x the […]

I’m not sure if I found the college environment because I was so comfortable here or whether I’ve become comfortable with it as I’ve continued to work here.  Either way, I chose this spring to continue my course work (the goal of which is, as of yet, undetermined).  My course is about Evolution and Cognitive […]
