very interesting. Looks like progress is being made, although those numbers show how common HIV is in Bots.

Michael,
Sounds like you are already up to your neck in the joys of medicine in Botswana and biking. Gale and I just heard about your blog recently from one of her Spanish students. We will be following your progress. Everyone here misses you, of course, but happy that you're able to be of service there. All we can talk about here is the election. Thank god it will be over next Tuesday.
regards to you and your
wife.
John
