it's been a while



it's tuesday night and I leave friday. who would have thought I'd be getting even less sleep? Melissa and I are really trying to do a good job on our projects that we have started. Some highlights as of late are:

1. we moved to the veranda and now sleep outside, with a mosquito net as our covering
2. there are only four of us in the house
3. we put our day guard in prison for a few days because he stole from us, the police wanted 20,000 to do the paper work that had to do with his case so he got off.
4. I got mugged with one of our other volunteers. We are fine.
5. I'm starting a non-profit I'm really really excited about. email me and I'll forward you the business plan.
6. I interviewed the dean of the public health school for makarere university. he is a really big deal and was on the hill during the first PEPFAR with President Bush and has written books and is in a bunch of newspaper articles etc.
7. We are trying to go through our house which has a ridiculous amount of stuff.
8. I miss it here already...but I need a vacation.
9. we made a fruit dryer

that's it for now.

I miss you all and only sometimes miss "real" life.
