A Reader Survey

Now that the trip is just about over, I can say that West Africa was a piece of cake. A piece of incredibly dry, stale three week old cake, with nothing to wash it down with.

Seriously folks, I'll still be adding some insights and conclusions and reflections about this place once I'm safely away from it. But for now I have to decide what to do with the future of this blog.

I've come up with four options:

A. I can turn it into a monopolar forum from which I can broadcast all my educational, theological, political, and, probably, mostly just plain stupid thoughts. Sort of like all the other blogs, except this would be, naturally, a folzblog.

B. If you like the travelogue stuff, I have a pretty complete memory, and I could faithfully re-create, day by day, some of the other trips that I've taken, to places like Labrador, Tibet, Armenia, and Oklahoma. And I can tell you in advance that none of them will be as remotely depressing as this one.

C. I can go on hiatus until another real trip transpires.

D. I can pull the blogplug. After all, it's hard work being this funny and insightful, and if (as I suspect) nobody else is actually reading this, then that will necessarily be the default position.

To vote, as it were, or to just let me know you're out there, you can hit the 'Comment' button at the bottom of this. Or, if you'd like to be more private, you can e-mail me at:

Well, up to now it's been an interesting exercise for me at least. And if anyone IS reading, thanks for doing so, and I hope you've enjoyed it.



Oh, and here's my entire creative output for the trip so far:

TO WIT,

I'm thinking that with the Beach Boys being older now, that instead of surfing they'd probably be more into sustainable development these days.

And they'd be singing something like this:

Little NGO, you're lookin' flash
Four Toyota Land Cruisers and a local staff
See the projects lining up now, watch the funding grow
Evaluate, Allocate, Duplicate
NGO
