The rule in colle football is no opponent contact is needed to deem a ball carrying player down. Whenever that person comes in contact with the ground the play is dead. In the NFL though this is not the case and contact is needed for a play to be dead.

Saturday morning I leave Boston for Bangkok via London. I have been studying my Thai. In the Thai language, you say that you sit on the plane, rather than fly. "Nung Bin." That is certainly what I will be doing. Nung Bin Nahn; sitting a long time!

I am really excited and very busy with details. I can't wait to see Noah and Sumalai, the happy young couple!

... all over the world. The primary language used in this area
is Afrikaans, although most people can speak English as well. You can
easily get to the Muizenberg beaches and the Cape Town city centre via
train or minibus taxi. The surrounding views are of the Muizenberg Peak
and Table Mountain National Park.



Cape Town is known as the "Mother City", a place of diverse peoples,
culture, history and environment. It is ...

... what an XO is, it is the laptop designed by and for OLPC, designed especially for children and for use with free, open source software. I tested and inventoried 11 XO laptops and packed them in my trusty EMS rolling dufflebag for the first leg of their trip. The XOs are in Hanover, NH.

I leave soon for Bangkok, Thailand with my precious cargo. After a rest there, VVV here we come!

... their bed this morning! So cold...It's the same thing at the airport - besides our flight to Cancun, there are pretty much no flights leaving the city, just because it is a slow day. Our flight was uneventful. We had individual TV screens, which was a welcome perk, and I proceeded to waste away my 5 hours watching chick flicks that I don;t otherwise get to see at home (ehem-). Sadly, I got cut off just at the crucial moment in "Mamma Mia", as Meryl ...

The annual fund-raising festival was a big event for CEA as a significant amount of funding comes from this event alone. We were all excited at first to be part of it, but it didn't turn out to be as fun as it was. Suddenly we were invaded by a group of americans, bossing us around and treating us like kids. Some of them think that we were from high school! I guess it's not surprising since most of them were old enough to be grandparents. The CEA office was ...

... for the 24th. She was at a table in the main ABR bar listening to the music with a group of people so I didn't want to go all the way into the crowd only to be mistaken. I figured I'd find out soon enough. Chris and I enjoyed some drinks in our Bubba Kegs and then lights out. Tuesday, January 23: We woke up by 5:30am because we were driving to Chichen Itza. It was very dark and as soon as we got onto 307 south it downpoured. It let up within about 10 minutes though, so we ...

... and the beach. From Tulum, we drove back towards Akumal to visit the Aktun-Chen caves. It's a ways off the road (5 km or so) on a narrow dirt track. The tour begins with poisonous snakes and a marguy (?) -- a beautiful cat, similar to an ocelot. (It was asleep.) The caverns are lovely -- not particularly colourful, but there are many stalagtites, columns, fans, and other formations. Tree roots have pushed through the rock above, seeking water. Often, the roots from many ...
