Merry Christ Day

-So what do Peace Corps Volunteers Do?
-We help people?

Fun in the Sun

My cheap Polish skin wins again. One blissful day in the Indian Ocean subsequently leads to 3 days of misery where I have to be incredibly careful turning corners and squeezing between a group of people and the wall. And before you ask, Yes, I did wear sunscreen. Mother nature is just a spicy lady here in Africa. She will strand you with her mud , almost kill you with her mosquitoes and fry your skin like a twinkie at a state fair. For the next few days I will be rocking a lot of flowy layers like your favorite grandma and a constant thick layer of SPF 50. 

What's A Goal?

These are the possible titles for the memoir about Kenya that I will never write.

Loitering in Africa
Two Years Spent Carbo-Loading
Conversations With Myself and A Jiko
Pee Buckets, Prenatals and Popcorn
The Horrible Things I Did For a Hot Shower

My all around autobiography is titled When Bad Decisions Go Good.
