The Blog I Started to Avoid “Unsubscribe” Responses to My Mass E-mails

A friend of mine - whose tastes clearly run to the obvious - recently suggested that I consider adding to the blog a section providing real time updates on my current location.

What? Suddenly my endearing hodgepodge of months old blatherings and brand new outrages, thrown together with no consideration for continuity (or brevity) aren’t good enough for you?

Suddenly you need some bourgeois sense of organization and cliched status reports that aren’t weeks beyond their expiration date?

Fine.

And then I checked Drudge Report for a quick news hit.

For those who don’t know, my parents have spent the past three weeks with me in Egypt and Jordan - a major highlight of which, for me, was the week we whiled away in little Dahab, a charming Red Sea beach town surrounded by the deserts and canyons of the Sinai Peninsula.

A charming town that just had the hell bombed out of it.
