This is the flag from my dad’s burial in 2006. I brought it with me when I returned from visiting home a few weeks ago.

I’m trying to find a triangle case so I can display it properly….and I’m totally confused.

Those of you that know and love me know that I suck in measuring anything.

Some of the sites seem to define the proper size by the flag’s dimensions when open. I’m not opening this flag. I think it’s a 5×9 though. The outside dimension of some of the cases I’ve found are 25x17x12 or so.

Dad’s flag triangle measures about 20x14x14 (inches).

In theory, his flag should fit the 25 inch cases, but with international shipping, I need to be really, really sure.

Any thoughts?

The pic above shows where I’ve been over the past few hours, although I’ve shifted from the sofa to the floor back to the sofa from time to time.

I’ve restarted my MA studies.

I’ll wait for you to pick your chin up.

Let’s see if this 41-year-old brain can crank back up. But between hitting the books, I made a trip across the pond to see family and friends.

And I’ve also been keeping busy with another project.

Whew.

In any case, time to get things back up and running.

Apparently 2011 is the “International Year of Peoples of African Descent.”

The Year aims at strengthening national actions and regional and international cooperation for the benefit of people of African descent in relation to their full enjoyment of economic, cultural, social, civil and political rights, their participation and integration in all political, economic, social and cultural aspects of society, and the promotion of a greater knowledge of and respect for their diverse heritage and culture.

But wait. Aren’t we all of African descent?
