When I got back to Manila, all the street people I know there found me, and they were all hungry - so I got them as many meals as I could afford (the small amount of projectrice money raised last year lasted only until Feb.2008 for these purposes, and after that I used my own money and then came to rely on my good friend and pRice supporter Kevin Weir for food & clothing for these people - and Ricardo kept finding me at Ana's Family store for fish & rice)

I've been away working all last week, and had to try to force my body to adjust 12hrs behind Philippines, and it was absolute hell trying to do that due to the jet lag (I ended up with severe sleep deprivation and terrible pain in my hip & shoulder joints, as well as my feet, all from trying to force the time change within 2 days after arriving back in the USA - a time change that normally takes a month for me to adjust)

It was all I could do to hobble home and crash into bed at mid week; I had zero energy for anything else, and I had to continue working 12hr. shifts at the PGA Tour Event, staying locally with a Police Sgt. & his Family who adopted me for the week.

I've been trying to catch up on some sleep, and take stock of what was taken from my Father's house while I away, as it was robbed twice and the house looks like a Typhoon moved through it, and what wasn't stolen was trashed - so I'v got to spend a lot of time cleaning up.

More later, and thank you for reading today,
PJAMES
