Africa 1 week from today

I leave for Africa 1 week from today and I am testing this "BLOG" to see if it works. I will be in the jungle of Africa for over 2 weeks. I am seeking to find the missing pieces to my family tree. Its an oak tree and there are a couple of branches that were stolen last month just outside my back door. I'm told they are in Africa where the water meets the sky and where the lion sleeps tonight. Wish me luck in finding the answers I have been seeking the entire My 2008.

I will write when I can as the jungle is deep and when ever I can find a Satrbucks with WIFI I'll get back with you. In the mean time BOOGALA BOOGALA which means "I'm lonely".

Boogala Boogala-
I hope it goes well for you- I will be reading every day. You should make that bet with mom again where if you lose weight she has to get a new tattoo... I hear African tattoos use hammers and ink.. :) Have a great time! Get a malaria shot. Love you!

I am going to have such fun with this over the next 2 weeks.
Just remeber you are there to help others and not have them listening to your whining about dirt, sleeping arrangements, insects, lack of flush toilets, the sun, heat, humidity, biting insects, strange noises in the jungle at night, stinging insects, that the Chief's ugly daughter has taken a shine to you and insists you marry her, flesh eating insects, that you think Michael's idea of hiking the Grand canyon sounds like a good idea in retrospect, that you are so afraid of the water there your underwear is now a second skin, that you forgot you really aren't that good with hand tools anyway, and that you actually agreed to 2 weeks in the jungle when having drinks on your patio at home was uncomfortable because it reminded you of camping.
Good luck to you and I expect this will rejuvinate your stand up career with all of the material you will pick up. That most likely will make the trip tax deductable as a business expense.
Good Luck and do us proud!
Michael

wow - after reading the other comments you must be comletely different then you are in the work place. Never a smart remark, always ready to squash bugs for the ladies, first one to get their hands dirty. You sure have your friends and family fooled.... I'll be sure to check in on how things are coming along. Take care - Lucy

Terry, I am sorry about your experience on the plane as you would have us believe agonizing for you boo hoo... If this is the kind of material in your stand up act maybe you should go away for a hyattis...I found it to be very tired and tried...Of course your flying alone with no writers as we all know without them we are all just big FAT FAT THIGH RUBBING LOSERS LOL..
