kidnapping+yellow fever=my life in one month

this has been my day…


mr. ragamuffin soul, his lovely wife whittaker woman, the wonderful shlog, blogfather randy elrod, myself, and a few other secret participants (who will be revealed at a soon but not soon enough date) will be taking a very long journey.

one that requires vaccines for lots of scary diseases. that’s the nurse who stuck my arm with live yellow fever buggers at 3:30 today.

one that requires me to sign a release form that says this:

The undersigned has been informed of the U.S. State Department briefing on this country and understands the risks that may result from such participation including, but not necessarily limited to, acts of violence perpetrated upon the undersigned individually or in a group, kidnapping, piracy, hijacking, and/or the possibility of accident, disease, or death. The undersigned nevertheless has voluntarily chosen to participate.

NEVERTHELESS…i have voluntarily chosen.

ominous.

exciting.

watch monday for a huge announcement that the blog world has never seen before!!!

    Sounds very interesting. Any trip with los I would think would be a total blast. He is someone on my list of people to get to know some day.

    Say hi to Chris.

    I had to get that shot once . . . along with 11 others. I am scared to death of needles. Not a good day.

    Umm, are you going on the campaign trail? That’s my best guess. Either that or Canada.

    Hey everyone, I know where Anne is going and you can to. You need to subscribe to her “Premium” blog. It’s only $100 a month, but the premium content is incredible…

    Now that I know a little more, I am totally green with envy. However, looking at that needle makes me feel a little better about being left out.
