Reliable sources inform me I have not posted here since April 29th.
My excuse is I have no excuse. Just haven´t heard the muse.
Sorry.
So...I´ve been in Peace Corps 14 months as of tomorrow. The day-to-day is pretty unremarkable.
Oh! I have started teaching reading at Rethuseng, the local Junior Secondary School. Forms two and three. That´s like 9th and 10th grades. About 30 and odd kids in each class. Once a week.
So far I´ve done it once. It was fun. Their reading level is below what I´d expect for kids that age. But that´s just me. Overall they seem nice. It´s something to do that feels good.
I´m closing in on 100,000 miles run lifetime (not counting the army). I want to hit that milestone by my 60th birthday. Got less than 500 miles and about seven months to do it. Shouldn´t be a problem.
Starting to think about life post-Peace Corps. Got some ideas, but don´t want to discuss them here yet.
Otherwise everything goes well here.
Man, I have to keep this updated! My name is Mike Wigal. Now I'm 64 and live in Petaluma, CA sharing an apartment with my son, Mick, and granddog Luquillo. I still travel a lot and ponder a lot. I hope to share this journey with you if I can get over my laziness and temptation to post my rapier-like wit on the hated Facebook instead of here. Welcome!

Thank you for your updated posts. It's better reading than looking at a cricket. Just got the computer fixed and boy does that feel good. One really misses an old friend!!!! Love you.... Mom
