Day 53 - Kuwait

-
Driving around today, it hit me: I'll be home in ten more days. What will it really be like to be home? I've gotten quite used to high temperatures, blowing sand, eating and sleeping by myself. What about the family? How will they take to having me back home? Will they be happy to have Daddy back, or will they dread the return of Law and Order's prime enforcer? That last thought made me smile. Whether they like it or not, I'll be home soon.

After work I came back to the room and ate some leftovers from Saturday's dinner. Then I met Gil on the tennis courts for a sound thrashing. The first set was promising, but then he got wise to my lack of serve and began to place shots in the corners. Final score: 5-7, 0-6, 3-6.

Following the tennis match I went to fill up my car with gas and pick up my laundry. The lines were so long at the gas station I decided to not wait. Fetching my laundry, I returned to the hotel room. A short Skype session with home gave me enough time to realize how truly exhausted I am. Hey, the shower isn't going anywhere - it can wait until tomorrow!

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...
