http://maggiepc.blogspot.com/2009/12/ghana-baby-or-do-i-make-you-hungry-baby.html
Saturday, December 12, 2009. Or Do I make you hungry, baby? As mentioned in an earlier post, Dave and I went to Ghana for a conference and a few days of vacation. Ghana itself is a fantastic country and I would recommend all of you visit it, if you haven’t already. Because we went primarily for the conference and not a vacation, we only nipped at the surface of all that Ghana has to offer. I’ll take you through quickly. OK, that’s Accra. View from our porch.

co co quoi: Happy Independence Day!
http://maggiepc.blogspot.com/2009/12/happy-independence-day.html

Was declared was in August, but August is prime cultivating time since it’s in the thick of the rainy season. Sources we spoke to said that people wouldn’t leave the fields to celebrate Independence Day if it were in August, so the powers that be found a proxy date in December somehow. People celebrate by marching in parades all over the country. Oh, and we saw a cute monkey at the parade.

Can get computers cheaply from the. To make a long story short, there was an unexpected cost associated with shipping. The amount that we’re short, $2,500, is how much we need to raise to get the computers. Increasing computer literacy is such a worthy cause! Thanks and happy holidays!

Wednesday, March 24, 2010. For a while I’ve bandied about lots of blog ideas but I can never quite materialize them into something longer than a couple sentences. It may be because I’ve now been a resident of. For 16 months so I’m afflicted with Donkey Cart Syndrome, a phenomenon that my APCD illuminated for me. I’ve become habituated to things that erstwhile would have been interesting or novel but I now find mundane and quotidian… like donkey carts. My immaturity makes me want to respond to these overt...
