Ain't Love Grand?

Hujambo! A delight to see you today! We’ll continue our world tour (with the odd digression thrown in now and then) as soon as you fill your mug with some delicious Kenyan coffee (the best coffee I have ever tasted) and slide a virtual treat or two onto your plate. Now, where was I? Oh yeah....

Kenya's The Standard reported the May proclamation by prominent Nairobi lawyer Felix Kiprono that he had fallen in love (long distance) with Malia Obama (who is, famously, part-Kenyan) and is prepared to offer President Obama 50 cows, 70 sheep and 30 goats in exchange for her hand.

"If my request is granted," he said, he would not "resort to the cliche of popping champagne" but rather would "surprise (Malia) with mursik, the traditional Kalenjin sour milk," and affix the "sacred plant," sinendet, queen-like, around her head. [The Standard, 5-25-2015]

All I can say is “Bahati nzuri, Felix!” (Good luck Felix!). 
 
See ya, eh!
