mmmmmmm lunch • 07.28.07

this was lunch. i already ate the green beans with their special spices and the lamb sausage (not pork but close enough). there's still some watermelon left if you want some. today i got a camel attache (that's a bag made of camel, not a dromedary version of "my man friday") a "screen on the green" blanket, some soap, a special berber sinus/anti-snoring potion and a present or two. but after all of that, i was VERY hungry, so now i am most excited about my watermelon. juicy watermelon. aaaaaaaaauuuuugggghhhh. btw, i realized i have never had a vacation where i wasn't "running the show" before. i will either learn patience or suffer an anuerysm : ) i'm praying for patience, understandably.

first night • 07.27.07

just had soup, salad and watermelon at the house i'm staying at the first two nights. this is eva. she was kind enough to let ben and i crash at her place. pictured here she is drinking my water. she thought this was EXTREMELY funny. so far so good. unfortunately i am in desperate need of a shower and there is none to be had here.

wheels on the ground • 07.27.07

we're safely on the ground here in north africa. the girls all have their elbows and ankles covered, so we're ready to hit the town. only 95 degrees right now at 2:10 based on my 9/5's of the celsius plus 32 conversion formula. here rodney demonstrates his unusual sleeping technique where he straps his head to the seat. it's the 8th wonder of the world. feel free to respond whether you think he looks more like a kid dressed up like batman or a kid dressed up like zorro.

    • Camping Weekend June 9, 2007
      sooooo, i was able to convince john and stephen that it would be a good idea for us to spend a weekend out in the woods with no food and no hair dryers (more a concern for stephen than for me - and less so every day). we found our way up to the greater […]

    • Half a Brain March 25, 2007
      sorry, no pics for this one. soooo, Atlanta was hosting the inagural ING marathon on March 25th. several of my friends had been training for months, but i had been nursing a sore leg and had not jogged for about 2 months. for some reason my friends (most notably jason, drew and blake) thought it […]

    • Lift January 23, 2007
      i usually try not to really mention what i'm thinking here, as it is my general supposition that no one really cares, but today will be an exception. i'm not even going to pretend that any more than 3 people in america might find me insiteful, but i figured i'd just put it out here. […]
