The final touches, especially when the involve, in addition to many practical details, certain governmental organizations, can stretch out. We’re hammering away.

Perspective is a word and concept I haven’t thought of in a while. I guess that says a lot. But later, I suppose.

I’m praying (among other things) for a deep period of satisfaction for you—a good vantagepoint out across the savannah and up into those Kenyan skies and the sounds of children laughing and playing and grateful even though they might not even know (just like the rest of us) all the details of everything they should be grateful for.

(And, yes, a chapter must have gotten waylaid. I’ll send you two by email now.)

Love,

Chris

I thought the match was terrific. High quality stuff. Bayern dominated possession but Mourinho’s counterattacks proved deadly. And Milito…Wow!

The only way I’m getting to SA for the World Cup is if the Prez swings by here and gives me an Air Force One lift. Can you work on that for me?

Love to you and Migdalia,

David

Also, for a hard worker, I hope you enjoyed the Bayern game … even thought the Germans didn’t live up to what they had pormised.

One sad German fan :O(

Can you somehow make it to the World Championship in South Africa? The US is playing. Obama might show up if they make it past the first round.

Love, Janine

How are the newlyweds? You’re right, Kaben, someone who spent some years in Kenya could understand the deep joy in a commode.

I’ll look forward to seeing you this summer. We’ll keep the lid up for you.
