I just had to share this classic picture that I took this evening. Molly sleeping in her favorite spot – hogging the couch with her head buried in pillows. She has an enormous bed that takes up a huge chunk of the living room already – but why sleep there when you can take up [...]

Cheetahs vs. Bulls OR Why rugby is my new favorite sport to watch live
Posted in Everyday Life on 27/02/2011 | Leave a Comment »
I admit that I am generally a fair weather sports fan. I enjoy watching important games on TV like the World Series, NCAA Final 4 and the World Cup when it was taking place in South Africa. I will also almost always, however, accept an invitation to watch any sport live. Living in Southern Africa [...]

Things have been a bit crazy at work this month and clearly overflowed in to my posting habits here. The month can basically be summed up by telling you that we had visitors everyday this month except 1. One week we had 5 visitors at once, most of them focused on my program. My very [...]

This month has been pretty crazy – and it’s only halfway finished! The craziness this week consisted of the two consultants who came to help my team start a new initiative within our work. Exciting AND exhausting. During our trips to the field they both pointed out repeatedly how beautiful Lesotho is, and they’re right. [...]
Maseru Hash House Harriers

The one constant thing I have on the weekends is going on the Hash Sunday mornings. Hash is short for Hash House Harriers (H3)- an international phenomenon where groups of people get together for runs. How it works is that a group of people (known as “Hares”) go out the day before and set a [...]

Last weekend I drove up to Joburg to spend time with my friend Joanna. Joanna and I became friends while at JHSPH together and now we both work for the same organization, except that she’s in the Nigeria office. Her program is having a global meeting this week in Joburg so she came a few [...]
In Lesotho, your life centers around the mall

Sad, but true. The mall has the best grocery store in town (Pick n Pay), several “dining” options (Spur, Ocean Basket, KFC, etc.) and the movie theatre. I’m at the mall several days a week, but it’s the movie theatre I love best. I have seen probably the most, and the worst, movies of my [...]

They are Alfred who was adopted from the vet who’s about a year old, was adopted from the vet and recently discovered to be some mix of Norfolk Terrier, and Cupid a 6-month old Maltese [...]
My newest love

No, I didn’t add another animal to the family – I got a new gadget. An ice crusher. I bought it in Cologne and some store with lots of cute house gadget-y things. It’s so simple, and yet works so great. There’s a compartment on top where you put the ice in that has metal [...]

This is going to be a long one, but entirely pictures … My fridge that displayed my magnet collection and pictures I love plus two bigger views of the kitchen. The living room. Couch is from Mr. Price home which is like the Ikea of South Africa. The dining room, and Molly’s bed (although she [...]
