Beautiful Antalya

On the road to health

Sorry I haven't written lately, been bogged down with a couple of infections which have made me feel less than human . But all is well now and I am almost back to the human race .

Officially on holiday break, which is a good thing. Early christmas morning we are heading to turkey where we will visit Istanbul, Antalya and other sites. Should be fun!

Have yourself a Merry Christmas!

But the cat came back...

Sorry I haven't written in sometime. Between recovering from working on two major tournaments, relaxing during Eid break, then gearing up to travel to Jordan and Dubai in two back to back weekend tournaments, I haven't been a good blogger.
Also my new best friend, the iPad, had a little bug in it which didn't let me download pictures. And what fun is the desert without photos for the loved ones back home.
All is well now and I promise to be better at keeping up with happenings. At least until the next time...

This isn't my cat but I thought it was a cool photo. Taken in the backyard of the cat lady of Jordan.

My favorite lil warrior

If you have been a faithful reader of this blog, you may remember a post imade some time ago about this lil guy. He was diagnosed with cancer in January and put up a courageous battle over an 8 month period. Last weekend I got to hang out, play war games and generally enjoy life with him while in Jordan. What a bright weekend it was!
