The weather in Kuwait is slowly easing back into what I remembered it back in April and May. That is a good thing, which means the daily winds have subsided to a minimum and the temperatures aren’t so hot. On a drive to the airport the other day, something caught my attention, which until then, I had [...]
CONGRATULATIONS CINDY
& MATT
Today is my friend and colleaugue’s wedding which unfortunately I had to miss, but I am there in spirit of course. We both began teaching in Waupun the same year, along with Mr. Disch, Mrs. Costello, and Mrs Feeney. The Fab Five as Mrs. Costello refers to us. So from across the [...]
It is hard to believe that at the beginning of this month I was in Waupun, then back North, now South again. I wonder how many miles I have added to the travel log?
So I have returned to the place where it all started for me back in late March. Presently, I am the only [...]
I finally figured out that we are on the same seasonal times as all of you, wait, that is if you are in the Northern Hemisphere. But if you are South of the equator, or in the Southern Hemisphere, then your seasons are just the opposite. Days here are getting shorter I have noticed, it [...]
A funny thing happened as I set to depart in the earlier hours of the morning today. I was webcamming with my daughter Brynn, playing tic-tac-doe and complete the square. I was set to leave not long after this. Suddenly our connection was lost. Not unusual. Happens often. Attempted to get back on with no [...]
Today I said farewell to my friends at the motor pool. Unlike many of my goodbyes, I knew this one probably was not the beginning of my next hello. To them. Sadly enough. The minutes this morning took on special meaning of course. I have had many conversations with Kamaal (who is wearing the bandana) [...]
I have to share this article with you because it happened to catch my attention. Maybe some of you saw it yesterday. I guess this puts Bobblehead Dan to shame.

‘Salam!’ سلام
(remember, this is only the verbal pronunciation, haven’t mastered the written language yet)
The ides of September are upon us and for me, that means yet another shift in locations. I am headed South again, probably within the next few days. Hopefully, this will be the last move. One thing with the military, which I [...]
One thing that I haven’t done here in this blog is provide you with some Arabic language training. I am sure that wasn’t your 1st choice of a topic, but I think it is interesting. Writing Arabic is an art, similar to Chinese. It is really neat to see it being done which I have [...]
Happy Patriot’s Day
Believe it or not, the temperatures have cooled a bit here. What a difference a few degrees make. Slowly I am getting back into the swing of things, still the sleep is not coming easy. Haven’t felt tired, maybe I should take more advantage of that by staying up all day. Kind of [...]
