After a 10 hour conference yesterday, we decided it was time to go to the pub literally called "Da Pub". I went with Matt M., Josh, David, and Jen. We had a good time just relaxing and talking about what we all trying to accomplish in Uganda. We all have slightly different ideas, but all 4 of these people are good people and I am honored that they are my colleagues. It was a great conversation about our upcoming week and our partner teachers. Also some of the things we liked to do at home. We exchanged favorite concerts we had attended and other stories about our life.
Then with the 5 of us and about 7 Ugandans, the bartender started playing great american musics. When "Ready or Not" by the Fugees came on I had to dance, it was and still is, such a great song. Pretty soon following "Da Pub" filled up and a lot more people started dancing. Matt even joined the Electric Slide with a group of Ugandans. The night ended with some of Spanish girls coming in and dancing to Spanish songs. (I am pretty sure the Spanish in town work with Medecines Sans Frontieres or Doctors without Borders). We had 6 hours of conference this morning, and David and I walked part of the way home with Odawa Henry Odongpiny my Physics team teacher. He is a very honest and hard working man, and I really believe he wants to do the very best for all of his students. It should be a good couple of weeks.
By the way, I really need a Cardinal win tonight. I have a Cubs fan talking trash in Uganda.

ST. LOUIS (Ticker) -- Rick Ankiel homered and hit a walk-off two-run single to help the St. Louis Cardinals to a 5-4 triumph over the Chicago Cubs in front of a record-setting crowd at Busch Stadium on Saturday.
Ankiel's clutch hit came with two outs in the ninth and followed Adam Kennedy's RBI double against Kerry Wood (4-2) to cut the Cardinals' deficit to 4-3.
Aramis Ramirez snapped an 0-for-28 slump with his 15th homer on the season against Cardinals reliever Ryan Franklin, who erased seven solid innings by starter Kyle Lohse, to take a 4-2 lead. Kyle McClellan (1-3) picked up the win.
Chicago starter Ted Lilly cruised through five scoreless innings before allowing two in the sixth. Ankiel connected on his 18th home run of the season and Ludwick hit an RBI double to tie the score.
Chicago extended its advantage to 2-0 when Ryan Theriot singled home Mark DeRosa, who also homered in the third.
Go Cubbies!--Magee, you are still a pretty cool guy though. K.S.P next weekend?
