Preparations
Well, I would say that I have entered the countdown. The point of no return. I am preparing my farewells. Sayonara. Ciao. Goom-bye. Peace. Peace Corps, that is.
Sue and I are going shopping today for some supplies (supplies!) for my little trip to Cameroon. My last day of work at the law firm was yesterday, and now it’s the weekend. It doesn’t feel like weekend, though. It feels more like two weeks before I enter a whole different milieu. One huge weekend. Huge, sleepless weekend. We are going to the Safety First store on Diversey so that I can buy some Quick Clot, tincture of benzoin and a few oral airway openers.
I wanted to express my thanks to the Women of Wheatland (or should I say, Women who Hate Wheatland) for throwing me a delightful little Hotmud Holler-style bash after the wine tasting. Kim, Marilyn, Jane, Sherry… many thanks for the gifts!

You know...she always mentions her mom...like I am a bad guy...there is a unoffical Peace Corps survey online from a Cameroon RPCV that says 85% of them miss Mexican food more than their Mom's...I am just doing a little preventable action and buying lots of Taco seasoning. So there.
