Leg I

I am sitting a bar in the Detroit airport drinking a double shot of Crown Royal. I've hated to fly ever since my plane took a nose dive flying from Zimbabwe to South Africa. I did manage to have the most interesting conversation with a man who is a professor of ancient history at the University of Washington, but he's gone to catch his flight and I'm bored out of my mind.

I had a tough time leaving this morning-- I fully expect Cosmashiva to hate my guts by the time I get back. She completely ignored me on Sunday because I was gone for the day. Imagine what she going to be like after 3.5 weeks. I suppose the first time I see a baboon everything will be all cleared up.

One hour down, sixteen more to go!
