COVER STORY: September in the USA
In my last post i told you that i would come back and tell you another piece of the conversation that i had with an organization in Phnom Penh. You should really go read the original post if you haven’t already, but basically the organization i had the privilege of sitting and talking with does [...]
Hey friends,
Just a quick update here before i go to bed. I’ve received a couple of emails about the earthquake so i thought i’d make a more public announcement instead of leaving people hanging. The earthquake that recently hit western China was very far from Beijing. We didn’t feel anything this far east, so everyone [...]

For about a week i’ve been showering in the dark. It seems like in any normal circumstance when the light goes out you replace the bulb and go on with a normal life. Not in China. When the bulb goes out you replace it only to find that it’s not a bad bulb, but that [...]
I’ve always felt bad for my lack of organizational skills. It’s an odd catch-22 for me because i can’t focus and get any work done until my desk is clean and orderly, but within a matter of minutes it’ll be a complete disaster again. Stacks of books and papers and cords all litter my desk [...]

Hey, guess what? Nothing in me wants to be a writer. I was thinking about this today while i waited for a bus in Hong Kong. I was feeling like i was in an especially observant mood. Actually, i was being more observant of my thoughts than my surroundings. I remember the sidewalk that i [...]
I’ve been away from the blog world for quite some time now and i must admit that it’s been good. It’s with great resistance that i’m coming back and once again documenting my life for you. Taking several days to not think about about writing here has been wonderful. The only reason i’m coming back [...]
Everyone is blogging about Haiti. It’s on all of our radars. Many people have given financially. Many more are currently planning to go down and help. Some amazing friends of mine are already flying in and out everyday to take medical supplies.
Haiti is everywhere.
I’ve been hesitant to write about Haiti for fear that it would [...]
