Weekends
It’s nearly 1am and I’m still up… The weekend is sadly coming to an end and my 8-hours + naps and 11-hours sleeping sessions this weekend has caused me to forget normal hours, like the fact I must be awake in about 5 hours to mark essays and teach classes… <sigh> Why must the real…

Aches…
Today I got my second migraine in a month. While this is not really a very big deal, I do not usually get them twice in the same month – rather once a month if at all. Stress has been building up over a number of issues that I’ve been ignoring or avoiding having to…

Jordan: Arrival (Night 1)
First, calling the taxi service through the Al Ghazal (Trans AD) system was one of the most responsive services I’ve ever encountered in this city. Within five minutes of me calling to reserve a cab to take me to the airport, I was in the taxi on my way! Abu Dhabi International Airport is one…

_The Lost Symbol_
_The Lost Symbol_ The past few books I’ve read have been read on my iPhone through an application called Stanza. It’s really great for traveling because I don’t need to pack a bunch of heavy books – with weight and luggage being such an issue these days – and it’s convenient when I have to…
