I miss eating preservatives.
Madness!

I bought a new desktop computer last week. It’s great, a Moroccan brand, except that it speaks French and I don’t. When I um, buy a legal copy of Windows, I can get that changed. Until then, I just have . . .
Folie!!!!


I have more pictures to share from my trip to the mountains and the Sahara desert this week. Click the “Morocco_pics8″ and the 9, 10, and 11 for the different folders. Over 400 photos taken on my Treo 650.
Madness!!

I’ve got a new gallery of pictures. They are not well-organized by theme, but I’m using a new flash gallery program, so the load time on dial-up may be a little longer. Let me know if it works for you or not.
The photos do include the Roman arch that Patton stood in front of […]

Madness?

This woman says some of the things that a man just can’t say, like how men have been deprived of their reproductive rights, and how two parents really are better than just a mother. [WARNING: profanity] I laughed out loud. I’ve been accused of misogyny before on this site, and this link won’t […]

Another ex-pat had a slingbox (www.slingmedia.com) from his brother-in-law, so we were able to watch high-quality streaming Super Bowl XLI over the internet. Ha. Purple Rain . . . Purple Rain. . ..
Madness!

Prince was actually rather disappointing. Madness!

I have a new gallery of pictures, with snow in Meknes (my city; second snow in 7 years; it’s COLD), me in Rabat ice skating and bowling, a small march by children for rain, and some more pictures from my trip to the mountains, including some of the best ones. The rain march by […]

I went to Rabat today, the capital city. We mostly spent time in the “MegaMall”. It was nice, but expensive. I went ice-skating, bowling, but most importantly, ate 2 triple cheeseburgers at a Quik and took home a large hamburger pizza from Pizza Hut. Almost took home two, but Pizza Hut has […]
