\t\t\t\t\t\t Folks.
   I’m at the Jo’berg airport waiting on my flight back to the US via London.  We have several hours to wait, so I’m meeting a virtual-friend, Peleira,  from Pretoria in a few minutes. He’s a guy I met through MentorNet (www.mentornet.org) .. A group that finds technical mentors for folks all over the world. IBM has a special arrangement with them to link folks with students in Africa..   I never thought I’d actually get to meet him !
    While I’m waiting, I wanted to make a short blog post.. I’m not sure I’ll have bandwidth once I go through security..  We went out to a national park today and saw a ton of animals in the wild.  I have a ton of pictures to post.. but I think that will have to wait until I get on the plane and look through them. .  I’ll work on them now and try to get them online before we leave..
   It’s been a great trip.. I love the people and the country.. and I made some great work connections…  . Let me stop here because I’m running on batteries.. I may post more later today… or from London on the way home…
   Love you all.. love you Sam..
