well, here i am in kenya.: June 2006
http://debbyscott.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Well, here i am in kenya. Friday, June 30, 2006. Lately, I've been eating bananas and bread and rice cause I've been a bit sick, but I look forward to getting back into the Food thing. This morning Rose Stutzman made me pancakes that spelled out 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEBBY' - cause it's my birthday! 27 Usually when I'm in a strange place for the summer i don't tell anyone it's my birthday, but i've been telling EVERYONE it's my birthday this year. Birthday! Posted by debbyscott @ 10:54 AM 1 Comments. At anothe...

well, here i am in kenya.: March 2007
http://debbyscott.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Well, here i am in kenya. Thursday, March 29, 2007. At 7pm there is news in Swahili, at 9pm there is news in English. You know, the thing about writing a blog from Kenya is that I feel like I get to include extremely mundane things like this, because they are mundane things that folks not in Kenya don't necessarily know. Posted by debbyscott @ 10:03 AM 0 Comments. But NOW, now I can get a new channel, which shows:. Al Jazeera (English language) during the day time. Voice of America during the night time.

well, here i am in kenya.: February 2007
http://debbyscott.blogspot.com/2007_02_01_archive.html
Well, here i am in kenya. Friday, February 23, 2007. 2 American women were car-jacked and shot and killed today just outside of city centre, and i watched Blood Diamonds and Howl’s Moving Castle. And i guess to stretch this already painfully stretched image, our machinery here in Kenya is connected to that in the US, and the EU, and all those other countries, and we’re getting some of the waste products of all those imperfect machines. Posted by debbyscott @ 2:09 PM 1 Comments. Something like that. T...

well, here i am in kenya.: fireworks!
http://debbyscott.blogspot.com/2008/11/fireworks.html
Well, here i am in kenya. Wednesday, November 05, 2008. Dude, we hardly ever get fireworks in Nairobi! Well, with the exception of Diwali, and that's only in certain parts of town. I'm still at work on a conference call, but either there was just a massive gun battle with cannons or fireworks are going off! Posted by debbyscott @ 7:26 PM. Hmmm strange, I didn't hear or see any fireworks in Nairobi. But there is a lot of rain, lightning and thunder going on, must be God giving His blessings.

well, here i am in kenya.: April 2007
http://debbyscott.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Well, here i am in kenya. Tuesday, April 17, 2007. I am a better person because of Al Jazeera. Not that I am qualitatively a better or superior person because I am now more informed on world news. I don’t think there’s necessarily a direct correlation there. Rather, I feel better - healthier and even happier, though the news is rarely happy. I think because it reminds me that I am a world citizen, not just a mzungu (foreigner). Posted by debbyscott @ 9:21 AM 0 Comments. They are in the same party? 3 A fe...

Well, here i am in kenya. Monday, April 17, 2006. Of Farmers and Trade Negotiations and where I fit in. I thought I'd give an update on the organization to which I am seconded through MCC. I'm at the Food and Trade Network for East Africa (FATNEA). Cause it's just a crazy way of planning for things. Potentially helpful, potentially verbose and bizarre.). We're developing an electronic newsletter for FATNEA, with info and a way for interest community-based organizations in Eastern Africa (Tanzania, Uganda...

Well, here i am in kenya. Saturday, March 25, 2006. I'm spending the weekend with Rose and Merv Stutzmann (MCCers who lived in Scottdale for 7 years so I know them! But it's good we don't know what our future holds, right? And it's encouraging at this point to know that you can't plan who you'll make friends with. Okay, that's plenty enough deepness for now. Posted by debbyscott @ 2:52 PM 2 Comments. Friday, March 10, 2006. That could be fun. Posted by debbyscott @ 2:21 AM 3 Comments. Books I am Reading.

well, here i am in kenya.: Fever + Moby Dick = Questionable Results
http://debbyscott.blogspot.com/2008/09/fever-moby-dick-questionable-results.html
Well, here i am in kenya. Tuesday, September 09, 2008. Fever Moby Dick = Questionable Results. I get horribly sick about once a year. Not at all dangerously sick, not at all seriously sick, just dramatically sick. The kind where I inevitably end up collapsed on the kitchen floor, sweating and shaking and wondering how I’ll ever get back to my bed. I don’t know if it is that. Lends itself to picking up more extreme bugs, or if I’m just generally more dramatic in. I think it’s a bit of both. 2 Win the Olym...

well, here i am in kenya.: The Dangers of the Obama Presidency - I
http://debbyscott.blogspot.com/2008/11/dangers-of-obama-presidency-i.html
Well, here i am in kenya. Wednesday, November 12, 2008. The Dangers of the Obama Presidency - I. I mocked some Canadians. I believe I said something like:. We have Obama and you have .HARPER! This was unkind. The Canadians in question were from. And therefore did not really care. Still, though, that does not really justify it. In my defense, I was drunk on the giddy feeling of no longer feeling morally and culturally inferior to my northern neighbors. In retrospect, my ‘northern neighbors’ now are.
