A very first trial run

                                             Great memories of the long-necked tribe of northern Thailand.  I wonder if those rings truly do protect against tiger attacks?

They probably protect against this little tiger! 




Well hello!  Here it is....a fledging run at this thing called blogging.   There is even a random picture or two to enjoy.   Painless so far!  It is one week before departure to Afghanistan.  I will try to post something daily, but please please please do not assume some nefarious plot if I slip up, k?  And now I will return to the glamorous tasks of housecleaning and writing papers for school.
