The farmhouse does look cool, though. Have you written more about your childhood in Uganda and Kenya on your site? I was born in Zambia (my parents were teaching in Mansa) and would love to visit Southern Africa. I don't remember anything of it, though my parents talk fondly of Kenya. Bought _Lucky Wander Boy_ as a gift; thanks for the recommendation. Yikes, David, you poor thing. The farmhouse does look cool, though.

We'd pass barn after barn, field upon field littered with bales of hay for the winter - we'd encounter people to match the physical geography: flat, boring and silent prairie. We'd turn off on highway 14 and drive west, past the mosquito infested slews she would call lakes and stop by highway gas stations where they sell more beer than soda.

He is a strange creature: a farmer who drives a VW Jetta rather than a truck and who presses his jeans. re:Laura ‘Fecking’ Ingalls Wilder
