LA to SF
Adam and Mr. Gardner relaxing by the fire with some beers after a great hike up Baldy. Fantastic evening.
The four of us before dinner - bbq'ed marinated meats galour, peach and blueberry salad, mashed potatoes with rosemary, and beers all around.
Jasa and Hopper. He's six now and twice the size he was when Carla and I babysitted him at Pomona. Just a great little kid, and so much fun. I was so happy to have a chance to see them both and catch up on life.
The credit for this photo goes to Mr. Froman who took it on the way back from a pee break early Wed morning. One of the nicest shops of the Bay Bridge I've seen.

The start of my time State-side... Brooklyn to SoCal
Molly and I in her fabulous apartment in Brooklyn. Quite possibly the cosiest one I've been to so far...
Me, Matt, Kim, Little Nicky, Pano, and Adam in our 'before' photo getting ready to hike Mt. Baldy.
Adam, Matt, Pano and I at the top. Yes, we lost a couple on the way up...
Back at the bottom, craving water.

Heading on vaca in the States
I'm heading to the US in a couple of hours for some rest and relaxation (and processing of crazy emotions), so while I apologize for the lack of any commentary for my last Libya post, I am hoping to keep a running tally of where I am in the States, starting with NYC for 24 hours. It'll then be off to LA to meet Froman and Pano and a nice, brown VW Westfalia (complete with pop-top) for a roadtrip up the West Coast to Vancouver (gotta see mommy). It's gonna be a good one!

Birdies!
Souheil and I were in Kuwait City last week to meet with the national oil companies (KPC, KOC, KNPC, all these K's that after a couple days you feel dyslexic). Anyway, KPC (the Kuwait Petroleum Corporation) has a fantastic tower just outside the city that affords a great view of downtown. You can just see the Liberation Tower in the very back, poking its spire into the (dingy) air. Haven't had a chance to get down to it yet, but hopefully I'll be able to get some better shots of it soon. We're working with a sheihk in Kuwait, and he's been intrumental in opening doors to these companies for us. While he's good for business, I'm hoping that he can use his influence to get me into the Kuwait mosque, as I've heard it's supposed to be marvelous. Haven't made it into a mosque yet, but hoping to one of these days. Apparently there are select days when you can get a tour of the Jumeirah Mosque (also very beautiful, will have to post a shot of that one sometime), so just need to set aside some time.
Since I haven't Posted in a While...
Since, I haven't posted anything in a while thought it might be nice to post some random photos that I've taken over the last few months. All of these were taken with my phone, so the quality isn't quite up there with previous posts, but hey, the point if for you to see them, not for you to hang on your wall.
A nice view out the window of the room I stayed in at Louis and Steve's flat on the Palm Jumeirah. Life sure is rough sometimes...
Mark driving Souheil and I to a meeting... we think we're lost.
