hey all

honestly not much new to report, but i'm in town so i figured i'd post. the house is almost finished, really. last week i had three meetings in six days, which kept me pretty busy. the rains have started but not too fierce yet. they are pretty cool, its real nice sleeping at nite during the rain. also i've seen primates in the wild for the first time. little buggers called bushbabies, nocturnal ones that hop from tree to tree by my house.

so i'm gonna watch the angola vs. zambia football match here in solwezi tomorrow then head back home. the next few months should be pretty busy, starting to do more work with the finishing of my house. plus my boss is visiting next week, then in november ill be in lusaka for training and solwezi for thanksgiving & namibia for christmas (maybe even cape town for new years). so hope as the holidays approach you are all well also. nov 12-thanksgiving give my cell phone a shot.
