Superbowl Monday

In a few weeks I will be back in Abu Dhabi and the blogging will be a part of my daily routine. In Texas, I am afraid I have neglected my blogging. I guess I don't see much interest in my observations of life in Big D (although I did see camels on I-20 on my way to Canton a few weeks ago.)
So here is what I'm missing back in the UAE.
It is Superbowl weekend and that is also true for American ex-pats in Abu Dhabi with a few exceptions....
#1 - Sunday is not a weekend, it is a workday
#2 - It will be taped and shown on Monday because 5:00pm CT on Sunday is 3:00am Monday UAE time.
#3 - There will be various Superbowl parties including the one at the embassy sponsored by the American Women's Network. Perhaps the only superbowl party with a security check, perhaps not. (See invitation below)
