The whole situation was a huge affirmation regarding the decision to go to UW but moving to Ghana? Frankly, I’m still not feeling it.

The “If you love me, come” thing is important to me. Right now I can’t say I have any love for the nation/people. At least not in any specific way.

I’m open to anywhere after school is done. I just want to be sure that Anita and I are mutually excited about whatever is next.

Thanks for sharing. It’s nice to see that faith-based work can make a difference in individual lives. For some reason, I get numb to numbers and broad-strokes efforts–even though I know they’re important and useful. Stories like these are a good reminder for me.

It’s so great to know I’m not the only one with an addiction. For better for worse, I also do a lot of tinkering offline so shutting off the internet wouldn’t cut it. That’s why full fledged blackouts are such a blessing. Anyway, I imagine I’ll be so busy between anita and the kids, school, and research that I’ll have to give up my hobbies for a few years.

The sunsets sound nice. Patricia and I have started driving to her school sometimes on weekends just to sit by the ocean and do nothing. It’s nice to just be.

On Anita’s comment, maybe you can buy Danny a subscription to Cyberpatrol. I’ve been using it to regulate my internet usage at home–I have it shut off my internet from 9am-5pm to force me to get to work (I’m self-employed so I can’t depend on the fear of a manager’s ire), but then i have it shut down at 11 pm so that i don’t stay glued to the computer. Patricia thinks I’m neurotic–I’ll be surfing the net or doing email right up til 11am, then it shuts down on me with this big orange screen saying something like “Blocked!”. I’ll sigh and say “Dang it, my internet’s off!” but after maybe 3 seconds, I’ll say, “Ahhh, what a relief.” If I can get the courage to do so, I’m thinking of bringing the shutdown time back to 9pm.

You know once we’re back in the States you’re going to be glued to your computer, especially with the high speed actually being pretty speedy. I’m going to have to force you to relax and play “black out!”.

I’m jealous. Sometimes I want to fly to Cambodia just for a couple days so I can chow down on ripe mangoes. And yes, people in the midwest - and the U.S.A. for that matter - are totally missing out!!! The mangoes we get here just aren’t the same. I would buy the ones I could get back home in Pella, IA. More sour, different consistency. The Cambodian mangoes (and mangosteen, pineapple, papaya for that matter) were second to none. Too bad you can’t bring them back!
