Jambo! from Vancouver - soon to be Manow, Tanzania (pictured above. notice no screens on windows to let local spider population come and go as they please). One week to go and I'll admit I'm a little anxious about spending 3 months away from my family and Face the Nation with Bob Schieffer. But . . . I just spent a lovely evening with Susie, Kim, Mary, Janet and Sally and am feeling supported and connected despite my plans to fly halfway across the world in little less than 7 days. Oh and my backpack is probably 10 lbs. over the weight limit . . . hmmm.
