Finally...a sense of community!

Man, life is boring out here in the desert. But not this week! Yeeee Haaawww! (shotgun blasting sounds). A co-worker of ours has organized a little marathon yoga session to raise money for victims of the earthquake/tsunami that rocked the east coast of Japan last month. She contacted the Gulf News and they published her story and pics.


Front page sucka!
Top shelf, in between the blurb about the Taliban and Dee Oh double Gee himself. The Gulf News is a funny paper. It's illegal to criticize the government here (nervous laughter).
UAE ! UAE! UAE!


This is the beach at our hotel. It's on the Arabian Gulf. Look closely and you may see oil tankers on the horizon. The hotel is also our home. We stay here because there is no place else for us to live out here in the desert. I've always dreamed about living in hotel á la Howard Hughes. Come in with the milk, come in with the milk.
That's the BEAUTIFUL and TALENTED Ms. Bridget Best second from the left.

We're going to do 108 (significant number in the Buddhist tradition) sun salutations tomorrow morning. I'm not sure what those are, but I'm ready. How tough can it be to salute the sun? I once did seven one-armed push-ups in the rain. Karate chop!
