blogging will be slow for the next week or so. i leave tomorrow for central pennsylvania and will be there for the weekend. next week, my work will get busy with a few federal court hearings and an arbitration. aside from work, there's the gay and lesbian film festival, plus the usual arabic study group.
to hold you over in my absence, read salam pax's article in "the guardian" or ishtar, a blogger in basra (published in both english and arabic--if only someone could teach me how to switch to arabic script and back again in a single post!)
have a good week. i am sure you will survive without me.
