Has It Been A Year Already?
Seems like only yesterday my Susan and I were wandering in wonderment the walks and waterways of Venice.
Road Trip Flashback
Brief backstory: I have an Alphasmart 3000, a somewhat goofy PlaySkool-looking AA battery-operated, bare bones portable word-processor that I bought prior to our Africa honeymoon trip in 2005 because I wanted something rugged and durable and cheap ($200) that, given our locations in the Rwandan countyside, the Serengeti (pictured at right tapping away on it …
