Africa letters

[telophase]

And now for another round of announcing, since there's been enough new people starting to hang out here: when I was a kid from the ages of four to six, my family lived in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania* while Dad did research for his PhD in wildlife science.** Mom wrote a bunch of letters home to my grandparents, and one of my ongoing projects has been to type them all in. I'm about 3/4 of the way through right now.

Anyway, I've been posting them under filter and tagging them with africa letters (ETA: there's now over 100 letters, so the tag function won't pull up all of them - I'm changing the tags as we speak to "africa letters 1974" "africa letters 1975" and "africa letters 1976"). If you'd like to be on that filter and read them, drop a note here and let me know and I'll put you on it.




* This is why Toto's "Africa" can get me all teary-eyed and nostalgic at inopportune moments.

** He didn't study anything cool, like lions or whatnot: his dissertation had something to do with grass heights and bird species. :D
