Expectations...

Things I didn’t expect to do in Africa:

· Hit a CD release party (for an artist whose name I forgot instantly)
· Join the Gaborone Film Society (First flicks I saw – Peter Seller’s excellent Being There and miserable Australian film The Man Who Sued God)
· Attend the Exodus Live! Spoken Word and Poetry Festival
· Get more and better TV news than I had in Vancouver (at least when the satellite’s working)
· Be unnerved by the sight of large congregations of white people after only a few weeks here.
· Celebrate American Thanksgiving.

Things I should have expected to do in Africa
· Hear an atrocious cover band playing 80s torch songs on hand drums and a sitar.
· Discover that cheap beer and extreme heat are a very bad combination.
· Leave shoeprints in the asphalt roads at midday (it’s THAT hot here sometimes).

What will they think of next? Here I was looking for wheelchair battery and I end up reading about Expectations.... What a change I would never think about that. Wonderful to run into your site Paul. Gave me a little break from my world. My world is in Las Vegas.

Now that I have a little time I can finally read your posts especially the title Expectations.... I accidently ran in to it the other day looking for golf cart battery and yours popped up Paul. I was in a hurry and bookmarked it so I could come back later. Well here I am. Keep it up. Greeting from Las Vegas.

Hello from Las Vegas. I was doing research on golf cart battery and came across your site Paul. The title Expectations... attracked me. This is good reading, I'll pass it on to my girlfriend. She likes this kind of stuff. If you or any of your readers can help or offer information on golf cart battery let me know. Glad I ran into your inspiration. I like to read blogs for creative ideas and themes. I get a lot of good ideas for acting. Thanks again for your time. Keep it up.
