To make a long story short: On Friday night, three Ugandan orphans and their chaperone slept over at my house. The chaperone, Julius, is my age and we enjoyed each other's company. We compared what life is like for 20-somethings in Uganda versus the US. It seems that many things are similar. We're both trying to figure what we want to do with our lives. We both want fulfilling and paying careers. We want to feel secure in our homes and some day provide for our families.
We watched late night TV and I think I convinced Julius that Letterman is better than Leno. Julius persuaded me that I should root for the Kampala soccer team. I was an easy sell as I could not even name another Ugandan city, let alone its soccer team.
