amalthyaJanice was nice enough yesterday to invite me to dinner, and after Richard Wrangham showed up at the chimp house, we ended up heading into Kampala together for a lovely fancy dinner-in.
It's seems so funny to be hanging out socially with Richard Wrangham, who in my estimation is like the second or third most famous primatologist alive. He drove in, and we had a really nice, fun chat.
Janice and Colonel Skow were bidding adieu to one of his majors, so the party was very miltary-o-centric. What was truly surreal was having military guys address each other at the table with "Yes sir!" and "Yes, Ma'am!"
In all honesty, it was a little scary. The party, overall, was enormously fun though, and I'd really missed hanging out with Col Skow and Janice, and we discussed my coming and housesitting for them next year (or rather, this year) and helping Janice out and it was just really fun.
Richard and I (Wrangham) got totally lost on the way home, but something about it was just incredibly humorous and we laughed a lot.
Which is still surreal.
Perhaps I'll write a more coherent entry later - I leave tomorrow morning at 3 am. So I've gotta pack.
