As the departure date crawls closer, I am becoming a little anxious about being gone so long. I can do without November, but December? I will miss the first snowfall and the Festival of Lights and the hallmark-y suffocating Christmas advertising AND a whole month of hot chocolate.

It's only pre-flight jitters. Once I'm there I won't want to come home.

This blog has gotten quite a lot of traffic lately. Over 2,000 of you have come to read about Juna Amagara and view my photography. It's unbelievable. I feel so loved.

And so, to abuse this power (just a little bit), please take a moment to check out my ROCKSTAR cousins in Colorado who star in their own band, Our Generation. They are 10 and 12 years old, Beatles and Rock enthusiasts and so talented! They just competed in a Battle of the Bands and do shows all over the Denver area. If you live in Colorado, go see them! If you have children interested in music lessons, check it out! This is one of the coolest things you can do for your musically talented children---get them on a stage, get them practicing, get them new instruments and challenge them. Of course, we knew "Hey Jude" and "Abbey Road" would be musically inclined. :)

Abbey and Jude, your cousin loves you. One day, she's gonna take you and all that musical equipment up to the mountaintops of Kishanje so you can ring "Joy to the World" all over Uganda.
