Merry Xmas, Your Bike Has Been Stolen

Monday, December 26th, 2005

That makes three times I’ve had my bike stolen since living in Milwaukee. The second time for this particular bike. It was stolen a little over a year ago, but the police were able to find it because I have the serial number. Hopefully they can find it again. I’ve hardly […]

Energy For Tomorrow

Wednesday, December 21st, 2005

I just signed up for this great program from WE Energies called Energy For Tomorrow. Essentially, it is a way to use renewable sources of energy for your home by paying a little extra. Instead of coal or oil, this program uses biomass, wind, and hydroelectric. I’m not real familiar with […]

Safari Pictures

Tuesday, December 20th, 2005

I’ve got the rest of my Africa pictures uploaded to Flickr. I have the safari and chimpanzee tracking pictures organized into sets. Still organizing the rest. I’m really happy with how the safari pictures turned out. The zoom lens was great. I wish I had my Canon Powershot S2 for […]

Jazz at the YMCA

Sunday, December 18th, 2005

I was a bit surprised to find the Utah Jazz at the YMCA this morning when I was working out. They were in town to play the Bucks last night. They play at Cleveland on Tuesday, so they must not be in a rush to leave the beautiful city of Milwaukee. The […]

Emma’s War

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

I read this book during my most recent trip to Africa. This is a great book to read if you want to get a background on the current situation in the Sudan. Emma’s War tells the true story of British aid worker Emma McCune. While working in the Sudan, she falls in […]

Bike Ride Through Hell (and Back)

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

Catching up on the Africa blog posts. Joe and I went on a bike ride on the second to last day in Tanzania. We wanted to see a crater that Joe had visited in the past. Joe wasn’t exactly sure where it was, but had a general idea of how to get […]

It’s 3:00 AM, I Must Be Jet-Lagged

Saturday, December 10th, 2005

When reading the title of this entry, sing it to the tune of 3AM by Matchbox Twenty. Sorry, that was really bad, but It is 3:00 AM and I’m wide awake despite having very little sleep in the last day or two. Still adjusting to the time zone difference.
So, I figure I’d put […]

Leaving Africa Today

Thursday, December 8th, 2005

I fly home tonight. Will get into Milwaukee at 3:20 PM on Friday. Haven’t had a chance to update the blog in the last few days. I’ll update during my layover in Amsterdam, otherwise it’ll have to wait until I get back to Milwaukee.
