About Me

Mike Wigal
My name is Mike Wigal. I'm 59 years old. It's been over four years since the death of my wife, Jan Gill-Wigal. I've learned much about myself in that time. I'm still learning. This much I know: I neither ask from nor promise anything to anyone. If I give I give from my heart. If you give you give from your own free will. I'm smart and I'm stupid. Thoughtful and thoughtless. Brave and cowardly. You can both love me and hate me. Passionately. Simultaneously. I'm part saint, part sinner. Exciting and boring. Kind and cruel. I'm a work in progress. I love being alive. Oh yeah, This website expresses the views of me, Mike Wigal, who is entirely responsible for its content. It does not express the views of the United States Peace Corps, the government of Botswana or any other institutions named or linked to on these pages.

The Rainy Season Is Upon Us



We've been getting some rain here in Chuck Hill lately. The pictures don't do justice to the scene of massive storm clouds rising over the Kalahari. The past couple days have seen downpours create a river in my front yard. But of course it's desert, so the water sucks into the sands almost as fast as it falls. The lightning show is spectacular! After almost six months without a cloud in the sky it's a treat.

So...mom...how's the leg?
