I Am Back...

Marima


I haven’t been blogging much lately. We made a trip to Turkey this summer, then didn’t have a maid for months when we got back, thus the duties of domestic life trumped blogging for the most part. Since that time, we have hired a wonderful new maid from Ethiopia, her name is Marima, and she's been a Godsend.

I’ve also been active elsewhere on the net. I try to keep religion and politics fairly toned down in this blog. As a resource about life in Qatar, I think it appeals to a wide variety of people who may have greatly disparate ideas about such things. I think that within the scope of a blog like this, excessive commentary about specific political or religious views detracts from it’s usefulness, so therefore I take it elsewhere. Two places I contribute to regularly are Daily Kos, and Street Prophets, for political and religious commentary, respectively.

The fortunate thing about a blog of this nature is that the information therein doesn’t change much, and what I wrote about a year ago still holds true today. In any case, I am back.
