News:
May 24: Added one journal entry:An Average Day to the journal page. Also, if anyone is interested in helping the community in Enchi, there is a project to bring computers to the new computer lab in my school. Tax-deductable donations can be made towards this project, and you can read more about it on the official Peace Corps website Projects page HERE.
April 5: Added many more pictures to the album section! Check out pictures of Enchi, guinea worm eradication week, disco night and the beach in Axim.
Feb 18: I'm finally back in Ghana. I have a lot of work to catch up on. I brought a digital camera back with me, so check back in a month or so to see some new pictures from Ghana. Added one new, half-hearted journal entry.
Dec 9: Added 4 new picture albums! Coming Home soon. Updated contact information with contact information while I'm in the States.
November 24: Uploaded a new journal entry. Shopping for turkey. Feeling laconic.
August 29: Had an interesting journey up into northern Ghana. I'll try and post a journal entry about it soon :). Anyway. I'm in Kumasi right now until Monday morning. Hey if you read this while I'm still in Kumasi and want to give me a call: country code: 233 number: 5160496. Would love to talk.
August 16: Out and about in the cities of Ghana for vacation for a few weeks. I'll be online on msn messenger as daer@passport.com a lot more for the next few weeks if you want to try and catch me, I'd love to talk. Time here is four hours ahead of EST right now. Posted an update in the journal section. Hope to see some of you online!
May 5: Updated the journal.. long time coming due to technical issues with internet cafes here. Sorry about not posting pictures recently. Their absence due to several complex issues. Hopefully they will resolve in time. Traveling to my site today... will be there until May 31 when I'll reemerge for a week. Until then.
Mar 9: Well, it has been a long time since I updated the site last. I've been happily entrenched in teaching at my site. I'm really starting to feel at home there. I posted two new journal entries today and FINALLY put up the ending to the "Shopping in Kumasi" journal entry, sorry that took so long. I'll be in Kumasi for the next week on midterm break, so I'll probably post more before I leave next Saturday. Enjoy.
Jan 27: Heading back into the bush tomorrow. I put two new journal entries up. I don't really know when I'll be coming back to Kumasi. My guess is somewhere around two months. I'll try to have lots of entries and pictures ready (now that I have a laptop it will be loads easier). Oh, if you like sci-fi you have to read Peter F. Hamilton's Night's Dawn series (6 books) it's stunning.
Jan 16: Good news! I'm perfectly normal :) Got a clean bill of health. Right now I'm visiting my parent's house in Florida for just a few days but I'll be headed back to Ghana on the 19th.
Jan 8: Heading for D.C. tonight. I'll be staying at the Virginian Suites Hotel in Arlington. (703) 522-9600. It'd be nice to talk so feel free to call anytime. I dont know how long I'll be there, but I'll try to keep the website updated with that info so check back. Happy New Years!
Jan 6: It has been a long time since I last updated. I've been traveling. Kind of big news: I found a lump that might be cancerous a few weeks ago. All tests are showing up negative, but to be safe I'm being sent back to D.C. for a checkup and a second opinion. I should be leaving sometime early in the coming week. Again, all tests are coming up negative so don't worry. I'll try and post more when I get some time.
Dec 1: Leaving for Enchi. Will return around Dec 20th. Added new journal entry. (Nov 30: The Feast!)
Nov 31: List of Books completed. Leaving for Enchi tomorrow, so if you want to write me, write tonight and I'll check in the morning before I go!
Nov 30: My thanks to whoever gave me as a reference when they signed up with prohosting... it is nice not to have the banner ads. I posted a new journal entry. (Nov 30: Thanksgiving...) Will post more tomorrow hopefully. Books read section is still being worked on.
Oct 30: Leaving for Enchi today. Will be back late Nov/early Dec. Added Journal entry (Sept 20: Storm)
Oct 27: News section added. I know my shopping in kumasi journal article is missing the last page, but I can't get it until I return to Enchi. So... expect it's conclusion in about a month to be posted.
Oct 26: New picture album format. Pictures of Sophia's Birthday party added.
Oct 25: After some hard work I've updated the pictures section at last! Take a look and let me know what you think. Hold your mouse over the picture for a description. The next update will move these little blurbs into an archived/current news section on the main page!
