Home sweet home…

in the lush environs of Gainesville Florida. Finding a home that would match the beauty of my home in Nairobi was going to be difficult, but why settle for second best? An ad on craigslist caught my attention. A few emails later, I land myself in a very nice home about three miles from campus. I’m living with a family who travels a lot and wanted someone to kind a look after the place on the weekends. I’ve got a bedroom, bath, and office on my end of the house. A big screened in porch complete with a Jacuzzi offer protection from mosquitoes and the backyard pool is completely surrounded by woods. I am five minutes from a bus to campus and a great health club is just down the trail through the backyard. I can walk to the post office, grocery store, bank, video store, and bakery. My new home is so nice, I will probably not want to go anywhere else on weekends.

My research project is finally done…

after visiting countless universities on the East Coast, and working from the home of family and friends. In August my research was combined into a 120 page multi-authored report that was submitted to a philanthropic organization that will use the data to make better funding decisions. Here Jesiah (my latest nephew) and I are working hard on research in Nebraska…he was a good little research assistant.
