A Jersey girl's journey through time and space. Saturday, October 08, 2005. I live on a row of little houses in the southwestern corner of Berkeley, California. Our teal bungalow with purple trim is tucked somewhere near the corner of Ashby and San Pablo Avenues. San Pablo is a main artery which runs from Crockett through the malls of El Cerrito and past Berkeley into the heart of Oakland. The strip on the edge of Oakland has changed rapidly in the past several years. A busy new restaurant that serves oy...

A Jersey girl's journey through time and space. Monday, November 07, 2005. After a day of IV rehydration, Alisa turned out fine though a lot smaller. But Kate and I remembered how thin the luck was that got us back to Accra in time enough, that we had a way to leave, that it wasn't quick-acting cerebral malaria, that Alisa had started out with plump enough hips to ride out her extremely quick weight loss. But the characters from last night's dinner were all out today, and we were here alone with Mac.

A Jersey girl's journey through time and space. Monday, October 24, 2005. Mopti, Mali 2002. Yes," answered Ali, in an even tone. Did he hear us correctly? Did he understand what we meant? Was he just saying "yes" to please us, as was not uncommon in West Africa? But overall the spate of memorial services around Accra showed the sympathy of the Ghanaians. But here in Mali? There are many Taliban who are running away and come through Mali," Ali told us. Ali was a Dogon man in his early 20's who guided tour...

A Jersey girl's journey through time and space. Thursday, November 24, 2005. I rode a New Jersey Transit train today from Long Branch, New Jersey to Penn Station, New York City. The train was vibrating and I had a seat to myself and my eyelids got heavy and half-closed. We passed Hazlet and Little Silver and Red Bank and then the gently swaying maples and backyard bicycles of the Jersey shore became the gritty red brick buildings of the North Jersey cities. I was nearly asleep. Exhibit at the ICP. There ...

A Jersey girl's journey through time and space. Friday, December 29, 2000. In Asbury Park saddled steeds spun on carousels, and the Mixing Bowls turned round-and-round, tossing the contents of kids' stomachs. We unwrapped salt-water taffy that stuck to our fingers. We putted on the miniature golf course amidst the smell of roasting peanuts. Blue benches faced out to sea and Madame Marie's fortune-telling stand stood stalwart, its windows taped up against a coming hurricane. Posted by joyfish at 10:34 PM.

A Jersey girl's journey through time and space. Saturday, November 19, 2005. Kate and I pushed out the gate of Mac's Refuge, scattering the tall, elegantly-turbaned sword and blanket sellers in a cloud of Saharan dust. We stooped slightly under the weight of our backpacks, our CFA (Communaut Financiaire Africaine) notes hidden in pouches strapped around our waists. I had a Dogon carved door tied onto my orange backpack, which made maneuvering even more awkward. Posted by joyfish at 2:18 PM. I had to be b...

A Jersey girl's journey through time and space. Friday, October 14, 2005. I Left My Heart in San Francisco. The Internet boom ended. Laura and Kevin, here for 15 years, finally moved to Denver. Brian and Marci, Brookline. Mike and Diana, Boston. Melissa and Ian, Durango. Elise and Don, Portland. Cyndi and Greg and Mark and Julie, Boulder. I think to myself. For now I am staying here.
