I'm Still Here

I haven't had much time to post lately, but I'm doing fine. I had a BBQ at my house last night. I pulled out all the flamigo themed items. The new BBQ works wonders-at least that's what my friend, John (the grill master) told me!! It was hot as blazes, even at 10:00 at night, so when the number dwindled, we moved inside for AC and Trivial Pursuit. Let's just say, I hope that we aren't the only hope for the future of the world! We started rooting for other teams just so we could finally end the game. At 1:00 am we all just gave up!

It is Ramadan now, so lot of people are fasting here. It doesn't effect me too much except the shoot a cannon off about 4:00 to wake people up to eat and prayer before the fast begins. Since we don't fast, Olga has interpreted this cannon to be her wake up call to get up and find live cockroaches to bring to Channin in bed. Three times now I've had to strip my bed at 4 ish in search of the beast. These puppies are huge!

After Ramadan is finished, we have a 4-5 day break. I think I will stay in Syria and visit some of the sights. A woman I met last summer at a Special Ed convention might come and visit. She lives in Doha, Qatar. It'd be fun to show someone around and maybe see some new sights.

Hope all is well in the US of A. Miss all of you!
