I started this Blog to educate myself about the Internet. I have found it both interesting and challenging.
The interesting part is how much is truly available to us on the internet. The challenging part is to improve both writing and creative capabilities on a daily basis.

--Cicero (55 BC)

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."

I call it giving back. An email from family member in Africa




Hi I had an awesome day visiting Sesson. First we (Durango, Anismis, Johnson and your's truly) went to the clinic because Johnson was feeling ill and I was able to see some of my students herding on a beautiful Sat morning. Next stop the shop in West Gate to pick up sugar and cooking oil for Sesson. The drive after that was thru the wildest country I have ever seen no real road, just driving for an hour in the bush. I have no idea how we found his Manyatta. The Samburu follow some sense of direction lookng at the mountains and the sun. We came across the biggest bull elephant they had ever seen and it wasn't that pleased that we were there. It started a charge at us and suddenly stopped and shook his enormous head at us but decided to let us pass. We also saw a herd of giraffes, gerenuk, baboons and for good measure a leopold. I think Sesson had told the whole village we were coming and the children came running to show us the way. I met his wife who gave me a belt she had made for me and we were invited into their house where we sat and talked (I listened not understanding a word) for about an hour. It was very hot and cramped inside. At that point Sesson asked us to join him, his father and some warriors under a tree covered with an acacia roof for meat. Sesson brought out a pot full of goat (legs, ribs and assorted other parts) and I was given a panga to cut pieces of meat off the leg. It was a little gritty and chewy but overall not bad. After lunch we had tea and his father blessed me for my long journey home and a safe journey back to see them again soon. Too good to believe! Fingers are tried so thats all for now. Love Timbo Dad
