Food for thought

I saw this essay, published in Vanity Fair, by historian and Harvard professor Niall Ferguson referenced in another essay and tracked it down. Interesting read and well worth your time. Click on the above title to get there....

Happy reading.

The Future.....

Well, after much consideration, I have decided to return to Syria a few days after the start of the new year.

I returned to the US out of necessity (personal matters) and had been missing my life and friends back there. I am now in the process of finishing up said personal matters, seeing family and friends, and getting ready to head out again. Not sure what the future has in store. All anybody needs to know, I am very happy about returning.

My skills with the blog are slowly improving and I promise to blog more regularly once on the ground there. I plan to include sound and video recordings along with photos and text. Of course, I say "plan".... If you would like to see something in particular or have ideas, just let me know.

Salaam.
