Treatment should start this week. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Responses to “Port of Lonely Hearts”. Feed for this Entry. Held a...

Archive for February, 2009. Reports of my Disappearance. February 28, 2009. 8230; have been greatly exaggerated. We’ve started to have some members of the new CHED group coming in June joining the Lesotho facebook group. It’s strange to think that we are going to be the old group so soon. On one hand it feels like we just got here, on the other, like I’ve never known a life outside of this one. Vol 1 and 2,. The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay. A Star Trek pulp novel,.

Port of Lonely Hearts. May 13, 2011. Series. It seems as good a thing as any to serve as the transition from a Peace Corps to this new fight. Essay after the break. Of course we created God in our image, what else were we to do? Religion may provide a salve for the existential horror of the human condition, but in the current age of knowledge it’s like a cold compress to lower a fever just before antibiotics were discovered- it may help the symptoms, but we know it doesn’t cure the problem. You are comme...

Our Life: June 2008
http://mcnabbfam.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 16, 2008. We had a fun and eventful Father's Day! We spent the afternoon out at Carl's parents house and the weather was beautiful! We had a wonderful meal of lamb, cheesy potatoes, homemade rolls, watermelon, olives, and pickles. We topped it all off with angel food cake, strawberries and ice cream! Riley and I gave Carl a $50 gift card to Sportsman's Warehouse so he can find a new toy! I have a few pictures, but they won't upload due to some internal error, so I will add them later! Riley ...

Archive for September, 2009. September 15, 2009. For the last week and a half I have been traveling around Lesotho, taking part in various Peace Corps run projects that, to an outsider, might make it appear that we are the evil corrupters of Lesotho. That’s right… Lifeskills. (cue dramatic music in minor key). Tales of Masturbation, Rape, and (close your ears) Condoms after the break. Continue reading ‘Corrupting the Youth’. Port of Lonely Hearts. Never thought I’d be doing this….

Archive for May, 2009. Welcome Back Again to the Show that Never Ends. May 20, 2009. So, updates… what has been happening here? There’s been a few things that have been happening, which I’ll try to write with some semblance of order. First, the not so good news:. At long last, I have a cat! No more rats, no more carrying on long conversations with inanimate objects, no more wondering what to do with leftovers. It’s a wonderful thing. Back home I would never have called myself a ‘cat p...I ended up gettin...
