The Continuing Adventures of (E)PB and J: The Things We Keep
http://epbandj2.blogspot.com/2014/01/the-things-we-keep.html
The Continuing Adventures of (E)PB and J. LONDON 3: SON OF LONDON. Friday, January 3, 2014. The Things We Keep. If you read the last post, you may have noticed that "blog more" was NOT on the list of things to accomplish in 2014. That's because I make that vow to myself so often that it is almost a joke. It's like flossing. I want to, I know I should, sometimes I even get around to it, but sustaining such behavior quickly proves untenable. So, no resolutions for me. The problem is, what to write? On my f...

la vie au Sénégal: March 2010
http://elizabethacorkery.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
La vie au Sénégal. 27 months as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal. Basically taking lots of sunscreen baths and trying not to embarrass myself too much. March 28, 2010. Alright, I'm officially failing at my New Year's resolution to update more regularly. Sigh. I apologize. But in exciting news, internet has finally come to my humble abode in Nioro! In the mean time, life in Senegal is going well. Work is starting to pick up which is exciting. Unfortunately, temperatures are creeping up as well&#...Now, ...

The Continuing Adventures of (E)PB and J: August 2012
http://epbandj2.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
The Continuing Adventures of (E)PB and J. LONDON 3: SON OF LONDON. Wednesday, August 1, 2012. At this point, I should tell you.I'm a complete Olympics fanatic. Between the two I skew slightly more towards the winter games (a brief youthful flirtation with figure skating and a surprising indifference to foot races can account), but, regardless of the season, when those rings start appearing I start having heart flutters and my dormant patriotism/love of sport spectatorship is awakened.

la vie au Sénégal: A Cosmic Joke of a Day
http://elizabethacorkery.blogspot.com/2010/06/cosmic-joke-of-day.html
La vie au Sénégal. 27 months as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal. Basically taking lots of sunscreen baths and trying not to embarrass myself too much. June 30, 2010. A Cosmic Joke of a Day. This post is completely off Peace Corps topic really, but as it is (apparently) rare that I get inspired to write something I figured I'd go for it. Today has been one of those days where I sit back and think to myself, "Wow, my life is a cosmic joke." Allow me to explain. After my super nutritious breakfast, I was...

la vie au Sénégal: Flying Solo
http://elizabethacorkery.blogspot.com/2010/02/flying-solo.html
La vie au Sénégal. 27 months as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal. Basically taking lots of sunscreen baths and trying not to embarrass myself too much. February 27, 2010. So what does teaching a Senegalese person how to find a business idea entail? Verdict: moderate success. For our first time on our own, it went reasonably smoothly and I think we covered an important concept. With radio, its hard to know if anyone even tuned in, let alone took anything away from what you said. Still, I thi...Let me pr...

Mar in the land of Mar: June 2010
http://marinthelandofmar.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Mar in the land of Mar. Wednesday, June 16, 2010. The Middle Ages Want Their Pilgrimage Back; or, Popenguine: Not as Hard as I Thought. I've often thought that religion inspires people to do silly things - things like pilgrimages. It turns out you don't even need religion to do silly things - things like pilgrimages. And then I found out that the. Environmentally-friendly option was walking. And no one in my family was dumb enough or pious enough to sign on for a 30km walk. In the middle of the hot season.

Mar in the land of Mar: Harmattan was my wrestling nickname
http://marinthelandofmar.blogspot.com/2010/05/harmattan-was-my-wrestling-nickname.html
Mar in the land of Mar. Saturday, May 15, 2010. Harmattan was my wrestling nickname. A few months before I came to Senegal, I remember getting very excited (and a little concerned) when NASA's image-of-the-day website featured a satellite picture of West Africa and the Atlantic Ocean. The shot captured just about everything I knew then about Senegal, which is to say its basic geography. Sisyphean task. Dust is in the air, assaulting lungs and leeching every bit of moisture from throats and eyes. Tee hee&...

Staying Sassy in Senegal: Happy Birthday America
http://alyssainsenegal.blogspot.com/2011/07/happy-birthday-america.html
Staying Sassy in Senegal. Yup, I'm actually doing it. I'm taking the plunge. Starting August 12th I will be in Senegal working as a Small Enterprise Development Volunteer with the Peace Corps. Tuesday, July 5, 2011. Before joining Peace Corps, I loved America. American history, politics, and the US itself fascinated me. Now, after living abroad for two years, my patriotism has reached new and fanatical levels. The United States of America is the best country on Earth. July 5, 2011 at 4:01 PM. The content...
