I'm happy to be home. my 4-year-old is also happy I'm home. The work was a study about malaria, so I'm in the odd moral situation of I need kids to get sick for my study to work, but I don't really want kids to get sick.

Celebrated the end of the collection trip with a Bolivar.

My boys want one. I was looking in this thread for computer gaming suggestions by skipping to the end. I saw unintelligible jargon and Nintendo switch talk. Now I have to put in an effort, poopy. When I get home I'm putting together a mid-range gaming computer for them. They don't know this yet.

I have been working in a small town in Kenya on the banks of Lake Victoria since abaout May 11. Today I'm going home. I'll be happier after the 24 hours of travel and I am home.

Let me know how it is. I haven't made it up there yet.

Happy Birthday

My dad had his 89th birthday on the 4th of July.

Your son is perfectly legal in my country of residence. Drinking age here is 16, for beer, wine and cider. Liquor is 18.

Tusker, a Partagas D5, and sunset on Lake Victoria from Kenya.

October 5-10 I'll be back in the area. I don't know what my exact plans are yet but would like to get a nice herf in.

Bought tickets to visit family. Houston herf on sometime between Oct 5-10

If my night goes as hoped, I will be happy. Switzerland can advance further in a WC than Germany. I might buy a Swiss National team jersey just to wear when I go shopping in Germany, if they pull it off. To not advance they need to lose and Brazil to lose as well.

The new Mighty Mighty Bosstones album.

I was the only person cheering for Japan in the bar last night. All the Africans pull for the African team, even if on the other side of the continent. Glad to see Japan draw as Senegal played better most of the match.

Went SCUBA diving in the Indian Ocean last Saturday. Saw several big sea turtles.

I used to do some chasin' of beers, but then Mississippi had some horrible alcohol laws and the south didn't have much in the way of good beer. The first Dark Lord day was also one of my first herfs with CP members. Also, both Dark Lord Day and Hunahpu were big parties with lots of other beers...

Congrats and Happy Birthday.

Congrats on the Anniversary. Thanks for the contest and providing a distraction from the work I'm supposed to be doing.

If I can remember, I'll be on the lookout for one.

I made cinnamon rolls once or twice.
