What does TIA mean?
How do you apply TIA?
Would someone be forgiven for not consistently writing their blog when they promised to under TIA rules?

Who needs an alarm clock here?
Eat when hungry, sleep when tired, wake when the sun comes up (6:45) or when the rooster crows (5:30). Considering it is 'winter' here right now, the days have been very short. It is very beautiful here. I met Robert, the manager of the Motel 2000, and he gave Jim and I a tour of the hotel. There is a great big banquet hall where he said he wants to have a disco! He kept saying "We'll have a disco, that is, if you like to disco." He's in luck, because I love to disco, haha!
I knew Africa -Kenya, Tanzania- had to more than the shanties and huts that the media portrays. It is SO much more and it is SO real! I want to know who built what, how and when. That has a lot to do with a place's realness, or its being 'alive'. Read Christopher Alexander's A Timeless Way of Building.
The place we are staying has a lot of CMU, concrete, stone, wood, metal. How did the supplied get here? I want to think that they built it with their own devices. It looks 'timeless.' I can't really put a date on its construction... but I don't really know the history here. It looks 'alive.'
I recognize my journaling is fairly choppy and lacks a certain quality of flow or story telling. I guess you are going to get an inside view of how my brain thoughts function (that is in direct contrast to my toe thoughts, nose thoughts, and on rare occasions, eyebrow thoughts).
And I still cannot get over all the birds. Bird noises that is. There is one that is purring... I like it.
