Off to Uganda

Not me, my daughter.  If any of you out in the Blogosphere are interested, my daughter left for a semester in Uganda this morning.  She is writing a blog, probably far better written and much more interesting than mine, and it is in my blog list ('It Builds Character').  If you happen to read it, drop her a note.  She'll get plenty from people she knows, but it's always nice to hear from people you've never met, especially when you are so far from home.
Godspeed, Love.  I miss you already.  Maybe that was the pain I had in my side at the race today.
Always best to have someone to blame, notably when they are thousands of miles away.  Just kidding.  Miss you Annie.  See you in December.
