Wednesday, November 9th

I have a clip on my computer of Bob Cole announcing the last few seconds of the Habs winning the Cup in ’93 which just came on. It still gives me chills. Things are looking good in Hab-land, although it’s still early. Winning close games early builds character and confidence, although it would be nice to win by a larger margin from time to time!

Another typical day at the office. I wrote a few drafts of letters that I’ll send to various foundations in the next week. While we focus on several projects, I’m going to fundraise solely for the water project, because it is the simplest and most immediately effective project we do. But like anything, money talks and right now, we don’t have any to sink wells or put up reservoirs.

One of Dr. Addae’s friends owns a restaurant/bar near our office. The term restaurant/bar is misleading though, because it isn’t anything like Shoeless Joe’s or The Keg. Anyways, it’s a great place to eat and they have made me fries too. The only problem is that the portions are enormous. Today they served me the biggest plate of fried rice in the history of time. I had about half of it and almost died.

I’m going to Accra on Friday for an information session for Wharton Business School (UPenn). I won’t bring my computer and I’m not sure if I’ll get on the internet. I’m back in Kumasi on Sunday or Monday, so if I don’t post until then, don’t worry! Have a great weekend. Habs-Leafs on Saturday in Montreal. What I would give to watch that. Finally, I think my Teva tan is eventually going to become permanent.
