This is an image from the Opening Ceremonies. This little boy is 11 and began learning the violin a tthe age of five. His intention is to play for the Vilnius Symphony when he grows up. Whwat do you want to do when you grow up and what are you doing now to prepare for that avocation?

Kenya - Here We Come!!!

Only three more days until I leave for Kenya. I guess I will be checking this one off the "100 Things to do Before I Die" list. I think this will be another trip-of-a-lifetime. Nancy and I are going to spend three weeks there. Although this is a working trip, I am sure we will have a chance to see many of the sites.

I have Lake Victoria at the top of my list. Sadly, we both bought one-trip visas and so we can not go around the lake, only to it. Next year, we will do this differently. We are spending two weeks at Daraja Academy. It is the first free girls' high school in East Africa. It opened just this past February.
