It was a slow week (online)

Howdy. Now that I have your attention, I want to apologize for every time you refreshed in the last week and found no new content, no stories about sword swallowers, or fights with street gangs, or updates about the kids, or nothing quasi-introspective about life here, or how God is doing crazy things at the orfonato. It was a slow week of online postings.

But, as is usually the case, that's because its a busy week offline (which is 95.8% of the time here). It was full of not one, or two, but three phones being robbed, and an earthquake (everything is fine), and dinner with all our construction workers, and a night of driving around with all our construction workers, and running basketball practice with my friend Tomo, AND personally washing all the kids' clothes with my friend Muhtilima.

It was a busy week, I can assure you. So coming Monday, we're gonna kick it off with tons of new content, including great stories like:

• A thief in the night?
• Earthquake '11
• Putting on the Ritz
• Pistol Pedro: The Pedro Maravich story
• Personally Washing All the Kids' Clothes With My Friend Muhtilima

The subject of at least one of those stories should be painfully obvious. And the mood of the stories will be dictated by whether or not my UW Huskies win Sunday's NCAA tournament game. So if you want a happy ending where nobody gets hurt, root for the Dawgs.
