My Friday flashback

It was a year ago today, I believe, that the bombing began in Iraq, and that was the day the Pakistani government signed the paper that said no to our request for special permission to return to the home they had said we had to leave because foreigners were not allowed to reside in that district. It was shortly afterwards that we decided to return to the States for a time. And we're still here.

A whole year, sheesh!

Our teammates returned just the other day, but the government has written in their visa that they cannot go to the town where we lived and worked together.

Interesting things going on in Pakistan these days; it sounds dangerous, but I don't care -- I still wish I was there. It's hard to forget 18 years of living in a place.

Oh, well -- all in God's timing. We'll get back sooner or later; I can wait. In the meantime, it's not like I'm not enjoying myself!

Just experimenting

Don't mind me, I'm just experimenting, trying to get the hang of this picture business; I want to figure out if I can use a different picture without changing my default picture. After which, I'm going into my White Tower and try getting some inkling writing done!

Here goes!
