The bemused ramblings of me
SMBI is in security lockdown right now. All doors and windows are locked and no one is allowed outside unless necessary. There was an attempted homicide just down the road and the would-be killer is on the loose in our immediate neighborhood (his car was found parked at the bottom of the hill by the […]
Since I am too busy writing my thesis for graduation, being on Student Council, and studying Greek, I will take the lazy route and reprint a portion of a Huckabee endorsement written by my friend Randy that closely mirrors my own thoughts on the matter:

It would be hard to overestimate the incredible luxury of a high-pressure hot shower. (When I say high-pressure, I am speaking of only normal, North American pressure.) In Asia, the most rudimentary showers I partook of were in an outhouse in a village and consisted of large barrels of quite cold water dipped out and […]
Landing in our beautiful Chiang Mai! It was a wonderful trip, but it’s so good to be back home!
Sam hired a camel driver (very, very cheaply) to come to their house and give us all rides.
