I know I won't get anything up before Christmas besides this one so let me wish everyone an extremely Merry (and cold!) Christmas! It's in the 90's here today (again) and extremely dusty. The dry-season-dust-allergy I acquired in Africa is in full swing. I'll be spending Christmas at my new home with the Fathers, Kelly, Margo (another volunteer), and several other guests of the parish. I'll put up a more detailed post after the festivities. It sounds like it will quite a bloody event - the morning of Christmas eve is spent slaughtering goats, cows and chickens and is, as the Fathers say, "a very dark day for animals in Uganda".
I'll be sure to twitter some messages until I can get something substantial (and overdue) up here.
Hope everyone has a great holiday!
My love to Mom, Dad, and Jason...I'll miss you all very much this week.
Love and miss you all,
Eric.

Another update (not post)
Still no update on what I'm actually doing here....not much you nee to know except that i'm just counting the days till we're sitting on white beaches in Zanzibar (11 btw).
In the meantime I've changed somethings up here. The twitter messages mentioned in the last post are above now, and i'll work on limiting my sms's to 140characters so you can see them all here. I've also put the pictures back up here, theres a link on the right sidebar (happy flaunty? love you.)
Also, below each post you can now give me your anonymous and honest feedback....and hopefully keep me in line if i become too idealistic :)
That's it.
Take care,
love and miss you all.

I'm twittering....
Ok, so I definitely owe you all a good healthy update. Be patient. In the meantime, I've added a new gadget (from twitter.com) to the sidebar...just there ----->
This little sucker will allow me to update my blog via my cell phone here! Not much..just short text message length updates...but it should make things interesting and give you something to chew on until I write a larger update (which I am also in the process of doing but won't be able to post today). It would be sweet if I had a picture phone, but I make 200 dollars a month, so what can you do.
Everything else is going great. We finished the last term of the school year and are on a 2 month holiday.
17 days till we leave for ZANZIBAR!
Love you all
