Kenya

Well I finally made it back to Kenya. Too my two wifes, whoops my one wife lost the second one. Obviously 22-23 year old women in Kenya are not very reliable (Everline, Rose, Gerald) so I am here on the shore of Lake Victoria (well a 10 minute walk). Where I go to the beach is the womens area. They wash clothes there or take a bath. The mens area is just down the beach. The other day saw 3 Hippos frolicking in the water and there roar is awesome. I have laid low and been following baseball and thinking a lot. The new owner of my house really abused me(my fault for letting him) but it took out all my energy and I am now starting to recover and the 24hour flight didn't help my ankles have swollen up because I was sitting so long on the plane. We were supposed to stop in Burundi but the plane lost oxygen(right). Never tell a passenger the truth he might want to leave the plane(ha ha). So I am looking into solving the mosquito problem. I got one idea a mosquito masher. Hand held. Maybe I'll ask for a grant from Bill Gates(that would be absolutely ironic). But this time is precious no crying babies(i work at night) we have baldy who can imitate a wild animal when he cries and then Venessa who cries when u point out she is not grown up. But they have there moments and is the only reason they r still alive. Not that I would ever harm them for goodness sake no but I think the mothers at times contemplate it. I always have the option of leaving. If it wasn't for the internet I probably would as all my dreams of how the family would be were dashed when second wife went to live with her girl friends for a week. But first wife Cecelia has been absolutely wonderful. The maid is not too great but again what can u expect from a 13 year old. It gives Cecilia some relief albeit not much. She can wash the floors but cooking is less than perfect. And she likes the kids but sits in front of the tv half the day watching the same women sing native songs. So we will look for a new maid. My old maid who was with Rose was a hard worker but Rose was too stupid to appreciate her. But maid are a tricky commodity if they are cute then they have a boy friend who will come in while you are away and steal everything. The only solution I have found is treat them like a co wife. Otherwise you are bound for catastrophe. It is obviously a different society here where women are so much like children that it is hard to give them much respect. As lying stealing and cheating are almost universal with Kenya women. As most children who have yet developed a morality. I probably have lost $50,000 learning this lesson. Obviously I am a slow learner. But the adventures were great and the book will pay me back with interest. Or so I hope. I have encountered a curious phase where I have no projects and it bothers me but hopefully after recovering from Mike(house owner) abuse. We are looking for another house in Kisumu with an outside chance of Nanyuki or Nakuru. But with my safaricom modem I can have internet wherever. Even in the middle of lake Victoria. Just finished reading a tale of two cities and am I glad I live here and now. So I have one wife to back me up so this phase of my goals is now completed. I still have the proto board with me. I was convinced it wasn't gold because of the weight but after consideration it still maybe but of a lower karat than 24. The minister of the church is my only follower on this blog. The other thing is after 34 years the pins on the board are as new where brass would have tarnished by now. If the pins are 12kt gold then the board is probably worth $16,000. I love the mystery of it all. I am not in the forex market here as the internet is not robust enough, need a desk top for that. So here I am as broke as a church mouse eating spinach and ugali. We have meat about once a week. And this weeks meat is somewhere in the house awaiting its demise(chicken). I told Cecelia not to touch me after she kills it because the blood lust may overcome her and she will strangle me. You westerners live such a protected life. Having others kill for you. If u want to criticize our society lookup drawn and quartered and it gives u some perspective. Well that is where I am at the moment take care Jambo Sana.
