Letters from Lilongwe

The purpose of hosting this blog is to give my mind the ability to release all that clogs it during the day.  After a day of studying and being active my mind needs a restful time to reflect.  This blog as my required English 1102 blog before is a great place to throw ideas and thoughts.  Hello Word All is Good in NC

Wix.com is a simple easy to use drag-and-drop service to create polished flash based webpages. It has been actually very fun creating the page because its a learning experience.
