Staring At the Computer Screen Looking for Lions

Last week I wrote about how I use technology to free me from my desk and allow me to communicate with Steve in Tanzania in a fast efficient manner. No sooner had I sent the story off to my webmaster to post I found another great use of technology. If you want to get a […]

A Beautiful Little Movie About Real Africa

I was speaking to a good friend of mine the other day who lives in New York.  He is extremely hard working and focused.  Recently he had to go to South Africa on business and after much cajoling and prodding I convinced him to spend at least one day going on safari and seeing wildlife.  […]

Tools or Toys?

I admit I love gadgets. I used to be the one who had to have the latest and greatest of everything.  Traveling to Africa a lot cured me of that as I learned that many over there felt sorry for me and my fellow travelers because we had too much stuff to worry about and […]

You Wanna Go Where?

Because we live in a big country with few bordering countries most of us do not know our geography very well. A few years back I took a very unusual trip with some fellow members of the Los Angeles Adventurers Club.  We were going to West Africa to learn and observe voodoo culture.  Our trip […]
