Summer Escape from Abu Dhabi....Part 1
From Abu Dhabi Dispatches, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
In my last post I bitched about the summer heat in Abu Dhabi and I realized what a useless thing that is to do. Like traffic jams, taxes, father time and women, the weather just IS and no amount of my cursing and beating the wall with my fists are going to magically transform any of these absolutes into my idea of what they should be in my little world. Although I can't change the weather, fortunately I can change where I experience it. In this moment of clarity I decided to head north for...

Book Review: The Chamberlain Litany by Peter T. Marsh
From bleeding espresso, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
I got a copy of The Chamberlain Litany by Peter T. Marsh from Haus Publishing, who you may remember also published The Mystery of Lewis Carroll by Jenny Woolf. I was particularly intrigued by the description following the title of the book, “Letters Within a Governing Family from Empire to Appeasement.”
I will admit to knowing very little of early 20th century British history and even less about the Chamberlain family, and these were two reasons I was interested in reading this book...

Hating Hijabs or Badgering Blondes: What's the Difference'
From Ibn Ibn Battuta, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
Last night around 9:00 PM, I was walking home in the dark from a function near my office. After a long day at work, I felt like a rubber band that had been stretched too many times.
I had just reached Dupont Circle, a small park in central Washington, DC, when a wild yell snapped me from my daze. Ahead of me, on one of the wide paths leading to the circle's central fountain, a small pack of teenagers were cackling and swerving menacingly around a man and woman. At a glance, I noticed two...

From Live from Waterloo, 1 month ago, Read 0 times. Similar articles
We all were on holidays last week. I almost never take a full week off, but this time I decided to. Then luck struck: a really good friend invited us to go to a cottage they had rented for the whole week! The place (near Orillia, ON) was just fantastic, and Gaby, my mother-in-law and the kids had a great time. I, however, had to come back on Tuesday because Santi had to go to work.Oh, yes. Santi has a job now. Even worse, I have a son who has a job already, which means I'm a fossil.Santi has...

Indian summer: the twilight of British influence in India
David Cameron is eager to show that he can break with the past and chart new avenues ? what with the coalition with the Liberal Democrats and talk of the “big society” reversing decades of centralised government power. But as he heads to India accompanied by a cricket squad of ministers and businessmen, he would do well to read up on a bit of history ? and in particular, on the letter that Queen …
