100 Things About Me

Both Sara and Mala have started their 100 things about me list. So bowing to peer pressure, here I go with mine. Mala went the full 100 (see # 74 about her), Sara only managed 7. I can do better...

Today you get #1.

1. I am a dual national.

Stay tuned for #2 - #100.

May Liberia find peace now that Charles Taylor is gone.......

Speaking of which, it is dumbfounding that Charles Taylor was living in Central Falls, RI a few years ago. How does one go from living in a small, run-down, former industrial corner of Rhode Island to being a murderous warlord/tyrant/dictator of an African country? Note: he was deported for being here illegally. Maybe if we had let him stay, things may have turned out differently....

....although President Blah (yes, that is his name) does not seem to be too promising.

Stop and think of the people who also suffer elsewhere and no one thinks of.
