My alarm is set for 3:30 a.m. that'll give me just enough time to make some coffee and get myself together, which means a warm pair of sweatpants and sweatshirt. I'm driving to Los Angeles International Airport, LAX, in the morning. I'll be taking my husband, his flight is too early for the shuttle and it's almost 2 hours away. I'm glad to do it, after all I'm going to miss him... he'll be gone a few weeks. To East Africa.
Yes, it's true . Many emotions are running through me at the moment. Happy, sad, jealous, mad. Happy that this opportunity came up for him, sad I can't go, jealous...well, I'm only human. And mad at myself for not being able to get back to the level of fitness that things like this require, And not sure even if I ever will...
He's going to climb mountains this time. Mt. Meru and Kilimanjaro. It's for work (get the photos) and to satisfy a longing that was not fulfilled the first time around when he met this mountain over 15 years ago. He told me that when he went up Kili he was so anxious and excited to reach the top that he did so in the dark. It was so cold that waiting for the requisite sunrise didn't happen because he and his poor porter (required) were in danger of freezing. So they descended in the dark. And he's always wanted to go back, to see the summit. To see the glacier before it's completely gone.
So.. if you see this man in Moshi in the next 2-3 weeks, please say hi, it will be my best friend, my husband.
...here he is, Chuck, i am going to miss him. Alot :(

Hope he has a blast - I'll keep an eye open for him - I can see Mt Meru from my window! I drove past a whole bunch of Kili porters today heading off to work and thought "Ooooh I guess some of these guys will be taking Lori's husband up there". Isn't life funny!!
ReplyDeleteHope he has a brilliant time on the mountain - and in daylight!
ReplyDeleteHope too that you don't miss him too too much.
Big hugs.

Reach for those African stars, Chuck, and bring some home for Lori!
ReplyDeleteI saw on Miranda`s blog that she made you an auntie of hers - does that make us sisters? Or at least cousins? Welcome in the family, Lori!- Yes, now we have lots of time to write, and in no time he will be back! And your niece always has an eye on Mt Meru, haha, that is quite a funny side-effect of our blogging, isn`t it?
ReplyDeleteoh i hope you gave him my number..you never know..he might end up in arusha...up the road from moshi..hope he sees the light up there..! brrrrrrrrrrr. lots love xxx j
ReplyDeleteMiranda, go meet him, he will be at a certain hotel in Moshi on the weekend(i think sat) inbetween mountains! hes a pretty nice guy ;) and i bet he'll buy you a drink..a non-alcholhic one of course. Really!

How wonderful & exciting. My annie would love a job traveling taking photos. She is the Yearbook editor and is going to miss the school camera when the year ends (her camera isn't nearly as nice).
ReplyDeleteI too am Blessed to be able to call my husband my best friend too. And after 24 years, I still get giddy at the sight of him!

ReplyDeleteJanis, i hope your daughter stays with photograpy, it can be a hobby or career for life! and so rewarding. It's so sweet to hear you say that about your husband, makes me smile.
ReplyDeletethanks Reya, its really remarkable, the world keeps getting smaller, i wish there was a way for him to meet Miranda and Janelli...
Lovely post, I do hope everything goes well for him. What an amazing adventure. And as for you, here's a hug.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
CJ xx
thanks CJ, sending hugs back to you xx
ReplyDeleteGood grief - are you mad woman? If I came across a man who looked like that with his level of fitness, I'm not sure I'd be able to give him back!! (only joking). How is he getting on? Lx
ReplyDeletehaha FA, i know just what you mean, and he's even better on the inside, i don't know how i got so lucky :) i haven't heard from him yet!

Drame de la crèche de Termonde
ReplyDeleteIn facebook
Is a big sadism, hypocrisy and discrimination to have persons inclusive some women that defends the death penal , coping the china and USA in retards policies, if any one die by crimes even if not multiple murder as terrorism better kill those women, explode courts, explode the parliaments and political parties and some responsible politicians, some pro-death associations and persons.
Is rentable kill many persons even if the person who kill has to die, that died just for little quantity of deaths, specially when the person makes that by range of society injustices or has psychiatric problems, even if them are made by cause of pollution, x ray radiation from electric power cables, toxic substances specially phthalates and another’s against men, the injustices made by the feminist that discriminates men negatively and by negligence, the feminist that allow women kill persons/men as victims or even fake victims, the feminist that allows kill baby by abortion but don’t allow men doing the same and dramatize if a men kill baby, not comparing whit a mother that kills babies even if they are not born yet, women that commit many crimes and are privilege as men in trial and media.
Il y a beaucoup des abortions que sont fait au Belgique et Europe par les mères de bébés encore pour ne même avec 6 moins ou plus, mais elles ne sont pas considérée criminelles parce que ont tues les enfants dans leurs ventre et sont les mères, au contraire de ce pauvre garçon.
Le même est le cas de la mère de les 5 enfants tues (Geneviève Lhermitte) que est moins criminalisé et n’est pas sujet a beaucoup de médiatisé et violence policière que ce pauvre garçon.
Au Belgique un homme plus facilement devient fous pour être discriminé et sujet a exclusion social, familière, négligence et violence de parents spécialement mère, négligence de police envers les droits de jeunes victimes, expulsassions et sans-abris, sans maisons de relatives, discriminations pour être étranger même si européen, exploré pour être père avec les pensions alimentaires, perde de maison et propriétés même s’il a été fraudé par une femme, etc.
If the capital penal is death so it is plus intelligent for who kills plus than his own life.
If a crime that is not murder and even mutilation is consider serious penalty and by mediatization as
A terrorism, homicide and even just like a mutilation, so is not cleaver commit de murder,
The terrorism that it is exponential murders and another’s crimes that are consider the same but in reality physical is worst.
I like ur blog!!
