Taking advantage of all of the powers of numerology, I will be leaving/left my adoptive home of Doha, Qatar, on Friday, the 13th of May.

For six years, this tiny country delivered on the promise that greeted our arrival: Expect Amazing.  As our first, but hopefully not our last, expat experience, it was just that – Amazing.

To my friends, colleagues, and students – some of whom are all three – I thank you for your contribution to this experience.  I will never forget you, or Doha.

While the purpose of this site is ostensibly to provide me with a slightly less archaic email address than @earthlink.net, I do hope to turn this space into something of value.  To someone.  Anyone.

Time will tell what happens, and – perhaps – it will also bring us together again.
