What to say about Sheikh Zayed, whose giant face shines down upon us from posters everywhere? (David even has his portrait staring at him all day at the office. ) He can truly be described as the George Washington of the Emirates (just add a few more Marthas and a lot more George Jrs to the mix). But he is more than the founding father...he also put the united in the United Arab Emirates making him the Honest Abe of the Middle East. He championed the rights of minorities so he could also be the MLK as well. What I love him for is that he was the Lady Bird Johnson of the UAE. The desert highways are now lovely green ribbons running through the sand. Lady Bird, of course, planted bluebonnets on the highways of Texas, while Zayed was more partial to pink petunias.

Christie, you are deserving special status as you so correctly pointed out that my computer has UK spell check and that my words have been morphing into Brit-speak. Therefore, although Katie will still be my favorite daughter, you, oh cheeky one, will be my favourite daughter.
Also, all future misspelled words will be blamed on my UK spell check

I'm impressed you figured out how to put pictures on this thing!
If you ever meet Z-Daddy will you please call him "Lady Bird"?
Yes, your mother did figure out how to put pictures up. You'd better watch your step because I have the naked baby pictures all ready for the scanner.
