Paris

26, Feb 2009

Though I love seeing other parts of the world, Paris is still amazing. History is everywhere. Art is everywhere. Good food and wine are everywhere. Even in damp, grey February. At least the grey signifies moisture in the air – not dirt as in Kuwait. Been back to Sacre Coeur and the Dali Museum. Did [...]

Happy birthday to me. National Day is coming up next week, which means a four day weekend. So I’m celebrating the holiday and my birthday in Paris with Kerry. Winter rates are EXCELLENT in this economy. I must say, it will be nice to eat cooked Food again. I am living like a bachelor, after [...]

Just for the record, Michael Phelps will be fine. Because the next time the US needs to win a medal in swimming, you can bet your ass folks will be knocking down his door to praise his talents again. Take another bong hit, Mike. Take two. You won a billion gold medals so no one [...]

Stimulus Package

2, Feb 2009

I know – you’re sick of hearing about it and so am I. And I’m sick of hearing about it from both sides. Seriously, to have to watch John Kerry get his butt kicked again on Meet The Press (this time by Kay Bailey Hutchinson) is just unbearable. GET THAT MAN OFF THE TV!!!! He [...]

Gray day in the Q

1, Feb 2009

It’s been raining all morning. Gray and wet. It rained all day Friday as well. And knowing how bad the driving is and knowing that Kuwaitis are unused to rain, I stayed inside all day. Didn’t want to chance some highway disaster amongst the still speeding Range Rovers, Jaguars and Jeeps. However, as soon as [...]
