So…my beloved friend, Kurtis, e-mailed me in a dither the other day. I prefer e-mail to the phone, and he is the exact opposite (which is why we lose track of each other for months on end!), so you know when he deigns to drop me an e-mail, it’s SERIOUS! The crisis? He had people coming over at...

So I'm starting this notebook thing, I started it January 13th 2008, and I'm writing in this notebook everyday for a year. So next year on January 13th, 2009, I'm going to write my last page and the day after that start typing. It's a notebok of my random thoughts. I'm on page...17. I believe. Or...
On Christmas Day I made a promise to myself.... to start writing down all the things I have been feeling, seeing, absorbing...... and been afraid of losing to a fading memory.

Abandoned Casino, Bokor Originally uploaded by missyshera & chrissybun. This might not come as news, but Cambodia is really, really, really hot.
