Happy New Year

We are back in Molepolole and things are pretty quite in the neighborhood. Many people are still out at the lands (masimo) or cattle posts (moraka). I asked a colleague of mine if folks do anything special for New Year's. He said, "They stay up until 12 and go 'WOO, WOO!'" The grocery stores have been selling cheap fireworks, so I expect to here a few booms along with the woo's.

We are having dinner and hanging out a friend's house this evening--nothing exciting. Assuming our telecom service is working we will try to make a few phone calls this weekend as we were not able to on Christmas. If not, we just want to wish all of you a happy, healthy new year.
