As I look at the Middle East through blue (western) eyes, I hope that I am open minded enough to see certain things as not right or wrong but only different...to see the possibilities not just the problems.
David is convinced that I'm going to get put in jail for writing this blog, therefore I have set a few ground rules for myself.
- stay away from discussing politics/religion (here they are the same thing )
- don't embarrass my kids (I won't go to jail for this, but I won't get any presents for Mother's Day either)
If I do get sent to jail, then I would be very "Martha Stewart" about it. I would go with my head held high. I would be a model prisoner and hope to get out early for good behavior so I could go get my roots done.
Katie, you have achieved "favorite daughter" status by posting a comment on my blog. Chris...you going to let her get away with this?
My fan club has requested a blog about Sheikh Fayed (the George Washington of the UAE). I'll have to do some research on the Big Daddy and let you know what I find.

First, I will NOT accept that Katie is the "favorite daughter." Second, I am kicking myself that I am not reading this every second of the day! I am laughing so hard right now that I might want to transform into an Abu Dhabian because they are so funny. Third, you are beginning to slowly metamorphosize into a British person... you now write words such as "realise" with a "s" instead of a "z." Haha. I am linking your blog to my facebook... this needs a bigger audience!
I'm not going to lie to you mother, it would be pretty cool if you got sent to jail. Then when people ask "hey why isn't your Mom at parents day?"...I can say "She's in the clink"..."What for?" they might ask...to which I'll respond with "Blogging".
P.S Get real Christie...I mean do YOU preform a "Cajun Night Before Christmas" every Xmas eve? I think I've made my case.
