Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I'm 24?

Having a birthday in Africa does things to you. Your taste in presents changes. Last year (and the year before that, and the year before that . . .) I wanted books and music. This year I wanted PJ pants made out of a loud Burkinabé fabric I bought in the marché last week and junk food from America--Chips Ahoy, gummy worms, and Cheese Wiz.

i saw it was your birthday on facebook. i miss you; if you were here we could go to flying saucer and get...well...chicken and beer.

I dream about the Flying Saucer every time I drink a lukewarm beer that tastes like watered down Bud Light. The minute I step off the plane, we're going there.
