Baldilocks emails with news: I found out that even my old friends who love me and read my offerings faithfully didn’t know that I was blogging again so consider this notice. The main reason I want you to read again is to keep what’s going on in Kenya at least in the back of your minds.  Not just because my father and other family members are there but because the African
