Tiffany's Attic: Senegal: Our Arrival
http://captainmatrix.blogspot.com/2011/01/senegal-day-one.html
Thoughts that are gathering dust in the attic:. Saturday, January 08, 2011. Sunday, December 25th, 2010. We land in Dakar, Senegal, at 5:30 am Senegal time. It's something like 9:30 pm to my body, and I haven't been able to sleep much, either during the 6 hour flight to New York, nor the 8 hour flight to Dakar. But I'm wide awake. The air feels different here. It's thick. It's hot. It smells different. Our first indication that we are very, very far from home. He got a big "Mamoune! After several hours o...

Tiffany's Attic: September 2010
http://captainmatrix.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thoughts that are gathering dust in the attic:. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. In Case You've Ever Wondered if We're Biologically Related. Went to the school library with my class on Tuesday. I found this book:. I checked it out. I was pretty sure Binta and I could have some fun with it. Binta's class had also gone to the library that same day. After school, as Binta plunked her backpack down on the table, this is what fell out of it:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Tiffany's Attic: Today I Bought a Towel
http://captainmatrix.blogspot.com/2011/01/today-i-bought-towel.html
Thoughts that are gathering dust in the attic:. Sunday, January 09, 2011. Today I Bought a Towel. When you're packing for a trip to Senegal, there's an elevated level of stress in not forgetting anything. The old "Well, whatever I forget to pack, I can just buy a new one in ," doesn't apply when traveling to Senegal. I forgot to pack a towel. The traffic was impossibly backed up on the road. He said there was someplace in the market where I could exchange my dollars for CFA. Finally, we got to the shop w...

Tiffany's Attic: December 2008
http://captainmatrix.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Thoughts that are gathering dust in the attic:. Tuesday, December 23, 2008. My Last Bus Ride. I've long been a fan of public transportation, whether it's for the convenience of having someone else deal with the stressful driving, or for the sake of "going green" and saving limited resources, or for the cost effectiveness of saving money. I get teased about it, but I actually like to take the bus. I made eye contact with a guy I had spoken with back at the bus stop and leaned forward to tell him I was fee...

Tiffany's Attic: You Give Me Fever
http://captainmatrix.blogspot.com/2010/04/you-give-me-fever.html
Thoughts that are gathering dust in the attic:. Monday, April 26, 2010. You Give Me Fever. It started Saturday night. Binta complained about feeling too cold, so I suggested she warm up in a hot bath. I decided to check her temperature, and sure enough, she had a fever of 101. Throughout the night, it continued to climb up and down, most likely due to the Tylenol I gave her. She didn't complain about anything else. Just feeling either too hot or too cold.

Tiffany's Attic: November 2010
http://captainmatrix.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thoughts that are gathering dust in the attic:. Saturday, November 27, 2010. Number of days I've "known" him: 125. Number of days we've been "official": 58. Number of days we've spent together, in person: 4. So this summer, when one member mentioned a friend of his was going through a divorce and could really use some support, we enthusiastically said, "Yay! Until one day, when he sent me a private message, telling me that he really was feeling attracted to me. I assured him that that's normal, to fe...

Tiffany's Attic: June 2009

Thoughts that are gathering dust in the attic:. Thursday, June 25, 2009. When Michael Jackson Dies. I'm strangely affected by the sad news today. As a child growing up in the 80's, Michael Jackson had a huge impact on my generation. To start with, his music was just awesome. And he was so cute. Seriously. Remember the picture of Michael in the fold-out section of the "Thriller" album wearing the white suit holding the little tiger cub? I had at least one Michael Jackson picture on my bedroom wall. For so...
