15 Days, 11 hours, and 29 minutes But who's counting

Hey y'all! I am sitting in my little nest making lists of things to take with me, get in Dubai, and pick up in the States!!!!! YES, it's true -- I are escaping temporarily from the madness at hand and making every effort to contain myself. The matriarch has forewarned to starbuck's cum barnes&noble on the way home from the airport, so that shouldn't be too traumatic. Otherwise, just banging along doing our thing. Right now the big issues are finishing work on the Afhanistan Basic Law on Higher Education, trying to get a big ole generator up to the top of the hill to the school in Faryab -- right up in the Pamirs next to China -- and of course deciding which of my lovely hawaiian shirts to wear to my next meeting at the puzzle palace, otherwise the embassy. I think the black one with red parrots and white cockatoos!

I like what we're doing and what we're doing is even important, but some days you feel like.... well like the photo! Looking forward to this break, I gotta say. Even if I do have to write the IRS and argue with the mobile phone compay! it'll feel so NORMAL! Okay. gonna go troll the web for Matthew spoor -- Japan in Motion, heh?

Now if we could just get time to take a 'time out' when you arrive!

Barnes & Noble has been forwarned. Red Carpet is being vacuumed.

I just swept the garage. So preparations are underway my love.
