She Has Freckles On Her, But She Is Nice

12 Feb
I had the best time evar last night. It started out kind of lame, though. It was raining like crazy and my house flooded again, so i was hiding in bed reading a book with my headlamp. Then i got up to go brush my teeth and was dancing across my hut when i noticed how slippery the floor was when i realized that i was EXACTLY REPRODUCING the end scene from the fine feature film: Step It Up 2: The Streets! HOLY CRAP! so I got all into it, dancing and swishing the water around, and did the banana-peel fall onto my butt a few times. THen i started doing risky-business type slides back and forth across my hut, when i crashed into my little table thingy that has all these tupperwares of flour, papa, sugar, oatmeal, etc. on them, and of course the only thing to fall was a bowl of eggs, which cracked all over the floor. I swept the mess into a dustpan and then as i was pouring water and soap over the area to clean it, i had an epiphony: soapy water is waay slipperyer than regular water! So i squirted dishsoap all over my floor where it mixed in the puddles and my whole house turned into a slip n slide! I danced and slid around for almost half the night. Today my butt and hands are so sore, but my heart and mind are oh so content.

Becky,

Wow, cute. You're totally having a good time. My place in Kenya has been pretty nice lately. The rain leaked through my roof and ruined some books and a radio, but other than that things are ok. I haven't had any snakes or scorpions this year yet...

Work's getting stressful, though. I just taught a two-hour class to my students (it's 9 pm now) because we are behind and we had to catch up... late nights!

Adios,

Alan
