Gee, where has the summer gone? Admittedly, it wasn't as much of a vacation as I'm accustomed to. Especially the last several weeks, the damn Americans have been bombing us again. Jeez, don't they ever get tired of it? So needless to say, I haven't been able to get away to the beach the way I used to in past years. It's a real shame, too, because I have this great timeshare on the Mediterreanean coast in Lebanon. Well, at least Yasser was able to use it between bus bombings.
