Just called to schedule a stop for Internet service when we away for the winter. The staff at NOVUS are so polite and helpful. Just another reason why going away is cheaper than staying home.

For now, let's just kick things off with a link to a personal Flickr photo album which I hold dear.
It contains a representative image of each and every country or territory that I've visited up till now. All of these places, save for two, I visited with Jay during our years together. He never traveled to Syria or Kuwait. However, he went to two countries where I've never visited: Cyprus and Pakistan.
Here, I've selected one of the images to include. I took a photo of these still famous water towers in the country of Kuwait. The image taken long before the Gulf Wars and was already a symbol of the country when I accepted my first teaching job right out of college. It was a fascinating glimpse into the world outside the protected bubble of my youth.
