Kevin's View  A while back, I was asked if I would be a volunteer usher for Michael W Smith. I'll come out and say it, I've never been a big fan of his but there are a few songs I like. The best part of the evening for me was helping people find their seats and connecting with lots of people I haven't seen much of lately.

Hillary's View My friend Marlene and I heard about the unassumingly-named City Park here in Nairobi, and that it really should have been called Monkey Park. The place is TEEMING with Sykes monkeys, who are clearly very used to people.  It was a fun afternoon, feeding them peanuts and taking about a gajillion photos of monkeys climbing all over us! I think at one point I had three on me, and once they found out where I kept the peanuts, one or two climbed onto my bag and started digging around inside looking for more snacks! Thieving monkeys!
