I will be proof reading my entries from now on, perhaps writing them when the power is down and just posting them when it is up. I have read over some of my other entries and apologize for their run on sentences and other grammatical heresies. Up until now I have written them […]

The funeral

Friday, July 29th, 2005

Finally… the internet

Friday, July 29th, 2005

In this short hour I have until the internet is gone I have the task of writing an entry that takes in all the days since the long walk. I will do my best.
The day after the walk was the consequences of being out of shape, and that was also the first day I […]

The long Walk

Tuesday, July 26th, 2005

There should be pictures up soon that I took along the way, and for all my negativity, it was nice to find that the internet is up and running tonight and available for use at reasonable hours. However, it will be short, because there is a meeting tonight. The meeting is the English […]

The days between

Saturday, July 23rd, 2005

Yesterday we scoped out the two diferent possibilities for the preschool of claudia’s vision. Only one of them ended up being realistic.
So far on the agenda for that building we will need to knock down a wall and do some roof work as initial things. Jim pointed out to me […]

A day in the hospital

Friday, July 22nd, 2005

I’m truly amazed. Today was the first day in the Theatre (which is what the british, scotish and irish call the operating room) and it was my first time ever watching surgeries. In america TV caters to all kind of tastes, including people who think a time well spent is on the couch watching […]
