As Stephanie reported, I am fine, I just haven't been able to use the Internet for most of the last week. And I did smile when Stephanie was born, she had just peed on me in that picture (okay, I'm kidding, I was just tired from being up all night).
New Years Eve was the usual here, an outdoor party that lasted until 4 AM, but this next part was a bit out of the ordinary. I was awakened by the sound of gunfire at 6:30 AM, it appears the good people of Juba, or some of them at least, thought it would be a great idea to greet the dawn of the new year with some celabratory gunfire. It sounded like a firefight outside the front gate of our camp. For about half an hour or so. We were in a bit of a panic for a while because no one could remember this happening before. My hats off to my colleague Jas, who was the Operations on-call officer for that night, for keeping his cool during this episode. When one of our woman UN police officers called him to report the gunfire (waking him up in the process! How can you sleep through that many shots?), he listned for a while and then asked her if she was frightened and when she said she was, he said "Well phone your dad then" and hung up the phone. No wonder the man is single!
