relaxation
The geekcorps office. 11 p.m. on a wednesday night. Nobody wants to sleep. We want to be tired on the plane tomorrow.
For the sponsors we had a glass of scotch or two, and perhaps a Samuel Adams to top it off.
Now! Sitting at the office. Crates of beer at hand, a PC, a powerbook, some great pictures on-line, and some intimate conversation.
For all it's worth we're boozing it up, trying to enjoy the western pleasures before the final destiny tomorrow night. Most of us would prefer not to sleep. That way, the plane-trip tends to be a lot more bearable. I guess the comfort of a beer, a smile, and a culturally similar discussion will be sorely missed in the next 3 months.
I'm dead excited abpout going to Ghana, I keep reminding myself how lucky I am, to not only be born and live in a wealthy, happy part of the planet. But more importantly, I guess, having dreamed of using my skills to give something back to the planet for the past 3-5 years, suddenly I have this opportunity to go to Ghana, have a great experinece, enrichen my life, and do the dream.....
Damn I'm lucky....
