I was reviewing my blog, thinking of things to say, and I noticed that on two occasions I said the genocide occurred 17 years ago. That is terribly wrong!!!!! It was 13 years ago (1994!). I clearly can't add, or have some fascination with the number 17. My apologies.
I will actually write a real post this week.

8 Aug 2007
Hey Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been writing! I've been petty busy at work and I haven't been doing anything too exciting on the weekends (besides laying near the pool and going to the bar of course ;). I've also been on and off sick, but I think that's just my body adjusting to the new atmosphere. I was suffering from either giardia or dysentary this week. At work we're doing a lot of preparation for the upcoming NIH-IAVI sponsored HIV vaccine trial that will be conducted at our site beginning in September. It's its an icredible amount of work, particularly on the paper side of things. I had my first audit last week. It went well, but my goodness it's intense! For those of you who are thinking "constant garnder", I do believe the regulations in developing countries are stricter than they are in the US (I can only speak for my organization!).
I may be going to Uganda sometime this month if I can get away, and I'll be sure to write and post some pictures if I do. I have some friends who are freelance journlists living there. They submit a lot of stuff to NPR. I may raft the Nile or just hang out in Kampala. Oh I've also just finished a full season of Hero's and Smallville. I love both! Ok, hope to hear from you all soon. By the way, I love your messages. It means so much to hear from you when I'm so far from home. Take care!
