Village life up here seems a tough go. So many modern limitations. How on earth did they ever get by before the white man showed up to take care of them?

Hopefully the little tyke is doing well now. As a parent, I can appreciate the strain.

Of course, I caught yet another stupid cold this week. I am frustrated at how frequently I have been ill so far this year. It's like since I caught Swine flue at Christmas, it's just been one virus getting me after another.
