a late start

I apologize for the delayed creation of this Blog - I've been receiving many emails from friends and family wanting updates on my life in India - thank you, thank you.  India is AMAZING . . . but as can be expected in Third World counties - technology is challenging, internet is slow (when available) and solutions are amusing.  I hope to add several posts in the next few days to catch you up on my last four weeks adjusting to life here in the Orphanage.  While routine posting is certainly one of my many goals with this Blog, it could be a difficult goal - as I've already learned all too well - India operates on IST (Indian Slow Time) and minutes can turn into hours, hours into days and days into weeks.  Remain loose.
