It started at 3 AM. We left Cairo at 4:30 and reached the airport about 5AM. The flight to Aswar 600 miles south of Cairo left at 7:00 AM and we arrived at just before 8:30. So it was a short flight but uncomfortable. I am used to fling in Business and was anything but. In any event, Once there

I am not the late Charles Kuralt, not I am on the road again. This time I am pretty sure you can guess where I am. It is cold in Massachusetts and snowy, but here in Cairo, it is lovely. It is just the beginning of their winter but absolutely perfect: sunny, no humidity, and high 70's. I saw many

I travel a lot and it is never easy. Sitting at the airport waiting stinks, but at least it means I have cleared Customs and will one day be airborne. One day, long after I am gone I fear, things maybe more consistent and smooth. But until then travel is certainly a b_itch. I am in a small lounge

I will soon be traveling and I have a great deal to do. I make lists (see Kathy, you aren't the only one) and I take pleasure in checking things off. I have a very big list today and a good amount of things are weather related. I bought new spotlights for outside and if the weather lets up I wil

It hasn't been a great or even good week for me. I had a tough time with a procedure and then a harder time when my youngest pup, Chico, had a procedure himself the next day. He is home and we are waiting on the biopsy results sometime next week. Until they come in, the best we can do is spend ti

Mornings are filled with duties big and small. My gang goes out and the new one is only comfortable when I go out and watch her. This morning is was chilly and a bit icy because I slipped coming into the house. I went with it and I am OK but going slow now is my answer to the slick deck. Have a s
