i was gonna write a blog post this weekend, talking about the work that’s being done right now, that nancy and cindy are leaving a couple of days before the rest of us for a really good reason, that there’s a ton of prep work to be done in the week ahead before we all get on a plane saturday morning and head to managua.

then carla sent an email to stephanie and doug (our n.c. doc) this morning and i realized that all of that other stuff takes a back seat to one thing: anticipation.

Carla:  “We woke up to a dusting of snow.  A week from today we will wake up sweating and hearing a parrot’s chatter.  Can’t wait.”

Amen.
