Home


Home. I am at home. OK, not for a long time, in 10 days I go back to Liberia.

I am busy with yearly tasks. Like filing the income tax return (and pay them, well, not right now), review the insurances: I have to see if I should extend them or change the coverage. And I will get rid of my car which is still in the parking lot. Accidented since 2 years. Also, my yearly medical check up is due. I am still feeling fine and expect to have the same results as I had last year. No diabetes, no high blood pressure, no prostata problems, no cholesterol, nothing. My doctor (who knows me since 20 years) told me the last time that he thinks that one day "we will have to shoot you". Perhaps he bought the gun now :-).

I, of course like everybody, took some New Year resolutions. No, not to stop smoking. But look better after my blogging friends by visiting their blogs and making comments. And I really want to do that.

The year will be an interesting one, as our activity will change with some new programs we want to put in place to assist the people in need. A lot of challenges ahead, but also a lot of pleasure, a lot of satisfaction and, above all, the feeling of having done something useful and good.

You will know about it.

Welcome home.

I'm sure your doctor hasn't bought the gun just yet.
