also hoping for a better update with Darick. I'm glad you can spend time with him. It has to be a comfort for him.

BTW, I've been watching the show "Aerial Africa" on the Smithsonian channel. I had no idea how gorgeous and varied the landscape is there! Usually all the programming we see is of the Savanna and animals (usually killing other animals ) or starving people. We really have no idea of the real country and how most of the people live. More people would probably visit if we were shown the other options. Not everybody is up for a safari - although I think that would be great, too!
