An Aromatic Remnant
I was sitting in London-Heathrow airport yesterday writing down a huge list of things that I don’t want to forget. I did so much fun and exciting stuff in the course of a week that even pictures, blogs, and journals don’t do it justice. One of my favorite things about this trip was [...]

4,500 Contacts
I have two more days in Oman and then I get on a plane and head back to the US. I have a feeling I’ll be telling stories for a long time. I’ve learned a lot about the History of Oman since I’ve been here, I won’t get into it now but oddly [...]

New to Me
Everyone it’s today, the day that I fly away from this continent, away from California, away from home, away from everyone. I’m visiting something new, well…new to me. Oman is a pretty old place. I’m really excited about doing this; anyone that knows me fairly well knows that [...]

That’s Just Life
I’m not going to slander him because slander is one of the things I’m so disappointed in him for doing, but this is what he said: “Well I guess you had some story to tell.” The story I told was my testimony, the audience was a group of people that could be [...]
