Hand washing clothes and late night trombone practice...are a few of my fav-or-ite things

I'm sure by now I don't smell very good. Not on purpose. I decided I would try to hand wash my clothes again and again I was foiled by the clouds. It was a beautiful, sunny Saturday afternoon and I couldn't think of anything else to do. The actual washing is actually fun, or at least cathartic. But the clouds rolled in and having to hang wet underwear and socks from a shower rod for several days is not.
One of my neighbor's kids is learning to play some instrument, or practicing his elephant calls. Either way, it sounds pretty terrible. ...neighbors.
I shaved about a week ago. Forgot about that. I was collecting too much India in there. Hair's getting long though...still got that going for me.

I've got a play date, or something, with these kids at around 5. When they've gotten out of school. Kids

I'm going to the All India Congress on Church in Mission conference in a couple weeks. Train rides and about five days of events. It should be a great opportunity to get a feel for what the Church is doing in India.
Other than that, I'm working on Freedom Firm projects. Writing, photography, etc. And I'm working on getting my applications done for graduate school. Keeping busy.
