Ready for Blast off, Captain Video!

Just sitting on Air Italy flight, waiting for take off!! Am flying by Milano, have 10 hrs or so, & then flying from Milano to Accra, where the LOVELY Rita Jumpah is the world's best friend & has agreed to pick me up, at 2 in the very UNGLORIOUS AM!

It's so funny to me that as soon as I got on the plane, they were playing that RIDICULOUS Dean Martin song "when the Moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's AMORE!" But what fun to hear lovely Italian again!

    Dear Faith, enjoy your trip and please share your photographs and records with us :)...

    When you come back here, the first song to sing together is "Amore" by Dean Martin! :)))
    (I am beginning to work on this song with my acoustic guitar for you, now! :):)

    " When a moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie
    That's amore
    When the world seems to shine like you've had too much wine
    That's amore..." :)

Social relations between the sexes in Ghana

As far as I can tell,(a highly unscientific sample) it seems the man is still in charge, the lord & master, for the most part. Women are expected to kind of be meek & submissive, but that doesn't mean they are. Of course, no country, no society is all one way or the other. I am uncomfortable speaking in stereotypes, so am not going to do it. There does seem to be more equality in upper class society, but I have heard it can be more hidden...Men pretending they don't​ think that way, but they do. Honestly, who wouldn't want to be in complete charge ? As far as working, most women do have jobs. But in the smaller Muslim community, it is highly unusual for a woman to work.

Aglow with Jesus!

So, I had a fascinating but ultimately exhausting evening...and morning! I went to a 10 HOUR marathon church fellowship meeting with my darling devout Rita. It's apparently a world wide organization called Aglow, & it sponsors all kinds of conventions/ fellowship worship meetings. It is 98% women, mostly of a middle aged to elder population. There WERE men there, but out of this vast convention hall, easily the size of two football fields or airplane  hangers, I only counted 3 men out of hundreds & hundreds of women all dressed in snowy white turbans & flowing white gowns. It's quite a remarkable sight, because Ghanan women are so dark & the white sets off their dazzling smiles & broad faces. It reminded  me once again of the Baiana women in Brasil, only they are VERY VERY strong in their original polytheistic views from Nigeria, where gods w/ same names are still worshipped both in Nigeria &  N. Brasil. White shows the Baianas are follower...
