Nigeria update: It’s back on. The visa apparently came through today (although I won’t believe it until it’s in my hands, freshly FedExed, in the morning).

So: I leave for Lagos Wednesday afternoon. Get in Thursday late morning Dallas time. Will no doubt be dead tired since I have never in my life been able to sleep on a plane — no matter how many sleeping pills I take and how much NyQuil I swig. I *have* had some good hallucinations on long flights, though, thanks to that NyQuil.

Anyway, the plan is to leave Lagos on Friday, April 22, and get back to Dallas the next day. Wish me luck. Updates here will likely be sparse, since I doubt there’s much wifi in the sahel. But you never know. Best ways to reach me will be via email (jbenton at toast dot net) or via Skype (crabwalkjb or 214-556-2616 — voice mails are very welcome). May get a Nigerian cell phone while I’m there — not sure.
