Africa On TV

Plane tickets are expensive; TVs are much more reasonably priced. So turn on your TV and get a taste of Africa tomorrow (Tuesday, May 23) evening as you watch NBC Nightly News. Brian Williams will follow Bono around through some of the world's poorest countries. You can always count on Bono for a good show, so it will be worth your time. (Somebody please TiVO it for me :) )

Meat Pie and Malaria

So I never thought I'd utter the phrase, "why don't we grab a meat pie and get you a malaria test." But I did just that earlier today. Ben was not feeling well and had similar symptoms to what he had with malaria, so we went to get him tested. The fact that getting a malaria test is a viable and prudent option when feeling achy/tired still strikes me as humorous. There's nothing quite like a tropical disease to keep life on its toes.
