Chasing the Big Five in Kenya
Adding labels to my eJournal and images has meant going through nearly four years of daily entries with a fine-toothed comb. I don't mind taking the time as I've got a copious amount in August.
What has bothered me is how unrepresentative this blog is in regards to actually painting a picture of my 48 years on earth. Actually, few would believe that by entering a mere paragraph or two, even 1400 times, one could sum up a life. It's true; however, I have now vowed to chat much less about the weather! (Today is starting off to be fantastic though.)
Also, I run into a problem by spending a near equal amount of time in Flickr. I do my Daily Picture Parade, add lots of what's going on currently, and took to scanning a while back. In my mind these two repositories of Dennis data are intertwined. I have mentioned Flickr a lot but a visitor cannot possibly know what's on the other site when reading here. Even a link doesn't seem as powerful as pasting the image right on this page.
So, as there was only a single entry regarding a trip to Kenya in February 1994, I put this one of Jay standing in the middle of souvenir sellers in Nairobi. I know that was a long time ago, but I need to add to my world label.

A Storm's Brewing
I found out that I'll be teaching on Monday to Thursday afternoons. I had thought I'd be able to get the weekend course but actually find this just as good. The course is still marked as an intensive, but it will be a bit easier as it's spread out over twice as many days. The Pre-technical Communication course lasts just five weeks, so I will have off the majority of December.
On another note, I have been scanning old photos to include on Flickr and I've got over 100 added already. I will be doing this for a while as I figure that I'll eventually upload at least 1000! I've discovered that fading old photos can come through of the scanner quite satisfactorily. Here are some zebras. I shot them with a camera when Jay and I were on vacation on the Kenyan safari. (Click the picture to load the current, scanned images in MY ATTIC on Flickr.)

They Know How to Relax
I wasn't intending to scan an image for today's entry; however, I accidently opened a word processing document in one folder. The file is called myhistory.doc. It consists of pages I've added over many years and it simply highlights an event for each month since my graduation from college. Some sections are not complete but I did notice that I'd written something for February 1994.
Ten years! Hey, it was a long time ago that we visited Kenya but I can easily recall the few weeks spent there. We stayed in Nairobi, in a safari camp, and at a seaside resort in Mombasa.
From the confines of a tourist van, we chased around these guys and Africa's
'Big 5' animals of the Savannah.
