Update from Africa

Readers of the old Genomicron will probably recall my post entitled "How much good can one blog post do?", in which I talked about my father and step mother's plan to move to Livingstone, Zambia. Well, they are there as we speak, staying until July to take care of things like their new farm, visas, and arrangements with the resorts where their non-profit foundation will hold its musical theatre shows. If all works out, they will be moving indefinitely in January.

You can read about their adventure at the Livingstone Performing Arts Foundation (LiPAF) site, or on their blog. I particularly recommend the recent post "Our first week in Africa", which my father wrote yesterday.

That's some adventure they

That's some adventure they are on. He's right, the “Oh that’s good for status” anecdote is terrific.

I feel hope for the world that the one multicultural constant they found was Scrabble rather than McDonald's or Levi's.
