When it's a thousand degrees outside - remember to turn on the swamp cooler before leaving for work.

Tonight when I got home from work, I realized that I had turned off the AC this morning with the intention of turning on the cheaper evaporative cooler. However, I forgot that part on my way out the door. So it was a balmy 89 degrees in the house. The evap is running on high and I think it's down to 80 degrees now.

I'm just considering it practice for Africa! "Help me, I'm meeeelting!!!"

So the hiatus is officially over and I am back online. So I'll try to keep this brief, but bring you up to date.

The "Half and Half" party on April 16 was fantastic! About 30 people showed up to help me celebrate the 18th anniversary of my American naturalization. The kids (and adults acting like kids) really enjoyed the silly games we played and the food and conversation was wonderful!! Thanks everyone for making it such a delightful day!

Within two days after finding out that my computer was unrepairable, I had a new laptop. God provided a magnificent computer for far less money than I had expected to pay. As soon as Windows Vista has all the quirks worked out of it, it'll be a dream. ;-)

The house is still for sale. Weeds and all. I've had quite a few people come by to look at it. They all love the way I've decorated, but no offers yet.

Support level is at 25%! Yay God!!!!

Ok, that's it for now. More to come soon. :-)
