Whoa, slow down! We booked this back in October. Far as I know, this wasn't on the horizon yet, and when we departed, none of the doodoo had hit the fan yet.

Low fares? Much as I like a good deal, this had nothing to do with choosing a destination based on there being no tourists there. Just bad luck. Coming all the way out to Egypt and not being able to see one of the Seven Wonders? Doesn't sound like a good plan to me...

Louie:

Great to read about the POSITIVE NEWS!
So excited that I burned my food!
Keep up the effort & stick to your vision. A live seed can't remain dormant for long; it breaks through the ground one day and it heads for the SUN!

Just read a pretty good explanation of how other countries around the world are tiptoeing around on their stance:

That is a _beautiful_ little scooter, MC. You always did have a good eye for buying things. Your last line cracked me up.

Can't believe that with everything involved in starting your company, you still have time for bjj three times a week! Congrats on keeping it up. I wish I had similar discipline!

While there's no comment here, I'd like to add one. What a full and loaded day you annotated! I admire you for being on (or close to) Ur. The very name commands attention. Contrast to Babel, where men built a city and a tower, Ur is the "Line of Departure" for Abraham. He obeyed God's call for him to depart from his birthplace, the place of familiarity for a place called Promised Land. Instead of city and tower, he led a life of tent and altar, sojourning by faith towards the Promised Land.

Your notation of Ur makes your entire military memoir so profound!

Christine just did an amazing ten-mile hike, with the weight of three cameras. But she's hiking, in a shady day up in Alaska; you're running, in the desert. Yes, stay hydrated, I concur. Be well!

Ramadan. I have a niece and two nephews who are observing this right now. One just started as a freshman at UVM (Vermont). Their dining halls don't open early enough for him to get food into his system after sunrise. Guess the world is going to have to change. Sounds like you're coming home soon. Wishing you well from all of us at Tuck. Stay well hydrated for the race! Dave

These are cute but so sad to behold. wonder what the animal advocates have to say. I can only add that human fancy is not so fancy for me. I'd much rather look at the deep awesome blue of the glacier chunks of Alaska...

Coming off the cruise, first opportunity I checked for your news at the Line of Duty blog. Glad to know you got your cell phone back and proud that you're a Shallock Holmes with a heart. You thought about lenliency besides the jail term, just as LC said, givng people the benefit of the doubt. Mercy is the quality not strained; it's the gentle rain falling from heaven (shakespear). Jesus says mercy, justice and faith are the three components of law (Matthew 23:23) and he says we are supposed to forgive 7 x 70 times!

It's truly divine to forgive!

Shortly before I was mugged in SF in 2007, I glanced at my soon-to-be-assailant, and thought, "It must suck for that guy -- people probably automatically think ill of him because he's black, wears a hoodie, and is leaning up against a building as its getting dark outside." In the aftermath of the mugging (and subsequent trip to SF General (hospital)), I was more careful about my environment, but I still think people you don't yet know about deserve a chance and I stil operate that way.
I do however feel very different about your particular thief. If indeed it's clear that he stole from you, I feel very little sympathy, especially since there was such a betrayal of trust. Also, it doesn't seem that he was stealing for his or his family's survival. Rather he was stealing simply because he had the opportunity.
I do hope that while being careful, you continue to give people you encounter the benefit of the doubt, but as you know, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice..."

Wow, busting the lock to take some toothpaste and the cell, but not your laptop? Is that all you have in the room? Maybe it's the beef jerky that lurked...

No secure info inside that cell (pin numbers), I hope. Small potato then; at least you're not hurt or robbed.
