I've just begun my staging, and I have to admit--so far, things are amazing! I have met some really cool people! There are three groups here: Cameroon, Malawi and Madagascar.

He's going to Malawi. Danny is coming to M'car with me and he's pretty cool too--looks like we have some white water in our future!

I spent a few hours on Sunday participating in a Spring Cleaning event at Otto's Mini. A great time to meet fellow Mini owners, whose cars are as unique as their owners. "Jack" was washed and waxed until he shimmered. I learned a few new tips and tricks regarding waxing a car, including a novel use of peanut butter oil. Jerry, staff member of Otto's BMW, took me for a ride in a motorcross Mini. I was blown away! 0 to 90 mph in 2 nanoseconds! The car handled like a champ, especially around tight corners! Oh yeah...I can easily see myself owning the road in this car! ... read more
