I shamelessly swiped this picture from Steve Wehmeyer. We've had this maddening day trying to sort out absurd last minute troubles with the upcoming Zanzibar trip. I think we were both about the end of our tether (although not as bad as it was on our first trip when Wehmeyer's ulcer was killing him and I had a constant run of cluster headaches). In the midst of the chaos Steve sent me an email with the header: why we do it . . .. Figuring it was some inspirational message about teaching I opened the email and instead was very pleasantly surprised to see a picture I'd never seen before of our friends Seif and Abdul. When we saw them in May, Seif gave me a big bear hug and said, "I've been waiting all year for you to come back." Soon, my brothers, soon.

| This must have been snapped on our spice tour two years ago. I can tell by the hats, not Abdul's classic Zanzibari hat, but instead Seif's one made from coconut fronds (there's a picture of me wearing that same hat, although not looking nearly as handsome - or happy). |
