Face the Wall: The Beginning
http://facethewallinghana.blogspot.com/2009/05/beginning.html
These are the tragi-comic adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer and his two cats in Ghana. Saturday, May 30, 2009. This is my blog of my African Adventure. It is not intended for the very young, the frail, or nursing mothers. If you have any phobias, like the fear of mysterious wonder, I'd advise you to saddle your horse and prepare to flee at a moments notice. Why this warning? Because things happen in Africa, baby- mysteriously wonderful things! Constantly replenishing their stock, they are unstoppable...

Face the Wall: May 2010
http://facethewallinghana.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
These are the tragi-comic adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer and his two cats in Ghana. Thursday, May 6, 2010. Somehow I've been busy lately! Work with a beekeeping group and things have been going very well. We produce three basic types of honey: cocoa honey, palm oil hone. Y, and wild bush honey. Because everyone here has a cocoa farm (or two, or ten), we produce a lot of cocoa honey. This is good because cocoa honey tastes like a lottery win. It's also a sinful honey, a honey of thieves. Occasional...

Face the Wall: Big Happenings
http://facethewallinghana.blogspot.com/2009/07/big-happenings.html
These are the tragi-comic adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer and his two cats in Ghana. Monday, July 20, 2009. Crazy times, my friends, crazy times. Currently I am a trainer for the new Peace Corps training group currently in Ghana. These young buttons are full of idealistic vigor. And visions of grand works. As well as a gourmand's eye for local delicacies. I'm sure this newer, somehow dorkier group will fit in just fine. We got to visit my good friends Kirsten and JJ's site. They have these awes...

Face the Wall: Racially Yours
http://facethewallinghana.blogspot.com/2009/10/racially-yours.html
These are the tragi-comic adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer and his two cats in Ghana. Sunday, October 25, 2009. In the US, I used to never make children run in terror from me. Here, the parents think it's hilarious that thier kids freak out at the site of me. Since I don't like kids all that much, I must admit that I enjoy the fact that my skin is small child repellent. And that there is the beginning of my understanding and acceptance of my race here in Ghana. Want to dash me 40 oranges? However, r...

Face the Wall: June 2009
http://facethewallinghana.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
These are the tragi-comic adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer and his two cats in Ghana. Monday, June 29, 2009. Sometimes people may wonder why it takes so long for me to update. Well, sometimes there is no electricity. This is why I can say that Ghana is for lovers. The rainy season is here! After a full winter. You could just fall in the mud and and receive sympathy instead of embarrassment. I haven't had need to try this yet, but if I do, I'll let you know what my success level is. And almost made m...

http://facethewallinghana.blogspot.com/2009/07/i-want-to-recognize-our-peace-corps.html
These are the tragi-comic adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer and his two cats in Ghana. Tuesday, July 14, 2009. I want to recognize our Peace Corps volunteers who are here. You know, Ghana was the very first nation to host young people from the Peace Corps. And for decades, our two nations have formed vital partnerships and lasting friendships because of this program. So all of you in the Peace Corps, you are doing an outstanding job and we're proud of you. - Barack Obama, July 11, 2009. Hannah's Adve...
