ABOUT TIME

When the year started I set out to write two posts a month. Well am not fairing so well taking into account that its been ninety days since my last post but whose counting? Anyway for sure my lack of writing cannot be pinned on the proverbial writers block whose defence all writers use when their creativity waivers, first because I am not a writer and second, well we shall come to that later.

It’s been a while since I last posted on this page, heck I haven’t done any writing of sorts for a while. Its fair to say that I have been away longer from this blog than the US based Kenyan opposition leader christened ‘baba’ has been away from Kenya. It’s five in the a.m as I punch away from the third floor of a tiny hotel room in Voi. Voi? Yes, this is the town where women have been going to the government in droves to complain about the denial of their basic human rights from their better (best) halves. Some may say that I am here (Voi) to redeem the reputation of men folk, while others may just think that I am a traveler whose bus broke down on his way to Nairobi last night.

Life has moved on, memories have been made, friendships borne; lessons learnt, enemies made, bridges burnt and money spent. <<-This here is basically sums up what has happened to me over the last couple of month that I have been away.

First step is always the toughest though, think back fellas; first bike ride, first drive by, first kiss… okay, you get the point! I am past the first step now and guess we can confidently ask, Guess who’s back? Back again?
