I just remembered while I was in the bathroom, back to the days of my youth, like really back there, somewhere in the neighborhood of 6 or 7 years max. I remembered that I hated the sound of the toilet flushing, I thought it was so loud. I used to use one hand and cover my left ear and press my shoulder up to the right ear and use my right hand to flush. I think the reason I thought of this was I was trying to see if I locked the bathroom door here at work. I didn't want to be walked in on. This was where my memory came back to me. In elementry school we had a toilet in the classroom in a tiny watercloset. One day a boy walked in on me using my flushing technique in full activation. Even though I looked like a moron, this boy who's name I do not remember so we will call him Gus, ran into the class to tell everyone that he saw me using the toilet. So I guess I was not the moron in this case as it was apparent to me that flushing and peeing are two completely different things, Gus was not clued into this fact. But regardless I had to spend the rest of the day defending my honor and my bathroom activities.
Gus, you bastard.
Home again Home again . . .

On Saturday we made the 2 hour drive through the hills of Rawanda from
Ruhnegeri to the capital city of Rawanda. We left our stuff in a friend’s
hotel room...
