Day 42 - Dubai

-
This morning I woke up feeling some soreness on my right side. Yes, rugby got the better of my rib cage. But I'm not complaining - it was still a lot of fun. If I can somehow find a job out here, I know exactly how I will stay in shape.

Speaking of which, after breakfast I scanned through the job boards to see whether there were any opportunities. But just as quickly as I looked at them I realized how expensive it would be to live out here. Tuition for each kid would be over $10,000 and rent would be over $5000/month. So much for that idea.

Instead I went to the mall just to walk around and look around. This being Ramadan, not much was happening. My brother picked me up and we had a late lunch back at the house. After lunch I took a nap which ended up lasting two hours. My body must have needed that rest more than I realized.

Later in the evening we went across the street to an Iftar tent. Iftar is the breaking of the fast, and many hotels set up air-conditioned tents to host the festive occasion. We enjoyed some light dinner in a different yet comfortable setting. Standard Lebanese fare was the menu, so nothing too different there.

Tomorrow morning I have a conference call early. I'll talk with you then!

We arrived from Los Angeles two days early to take in some of the sights of autumn in New England. We strolled past a certain university campus in Cambridge just to be able to say, “Yeah, I went to Harvard.” And as we crossed the Charles River on the Massachusetts Avenue bridge, I noticed that there were lines painted at regular intervals. Further investigation revealed these to be Smoot marks. What is a Smoot mark? In the spirit of a last-minute term paper, let me borrow liberally from Wikipedia: The smoot is a nonstandard, humorous unit of length created as part of an MIT fraternity prank. It is named after Oliver R. Smoot, a fraternity pledge to Lambda Chi Alpha, who in October 1958 lay down repeatedly on the Harvard Bridge (between Boston and Cambridge, Massachusetts) so that his fraternity brothers could use his height to measure ...

Light a Candle

"It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness." -Chinese proverb This morning I came across a CNN page that showed "Before and after" satellite photos of several locations across Gaza ( Link here ). It broke my heart - again. When Hamas crossed the border, murdering and kidnapping people, it broke my heart - again.  For years, our hearts have been broken by the cycles of violence, not only in the Middle East, but everywhere around us. And the worst part is the shouting we engage in if, for no other reason, a desperate search for catharsis. It is as if we turn to blaming or vilifying one group or another as a way to ease our sense of helplessness. Let me suggest an alternative. But first a story: Growing up in a home where I learned my Jordanian father was actually born in Palestine (Yes, that's what it was called in 1938), I learned about the history of the region from someone who lived through it. Over the years, I supplemented that knowledge with fur...
