Yes, I’ve been delinquent in my blogging duties. Real Life has a way of interjecting. Sunday I leave for my annual training for Uncle Sam. As I never know what kind of connectivity I’ll have, it may be after I get back before I’m back online. (I’m not going overseas on anything. I’ve ben fortunate in that I haven’t gotten *that* call.)

At some point, when I dedicate more time to this blog I’d like to incorporate more “social” topics and spaces: drinks, recreation, music, politics. Non-techie things. I don’t have it all figured out but it’s coming. This next link is political. It’s also historical, relevant and some of the best journalism I’ve seen. I have great respect for the author and he’s on my short list of people I want to be with, seated around a table with cigars and Scotch, debating and discussing world events into the wee hours of the morning.
Michael J. Totten moved to Beirut and began writing about the people in and around the Levant and beyond. He’s traveled into Kurdish Iraq, Egypt, Israel and I believe Turkey, too. His spring 2006 articles from the Israeli-Lebanese border are especially gripping given what’s going on today. They’re prescient, in fact. We don’t know the half of what people are like in that region. Michael’s writing should be carried on the front pages of American newspapers. It’s that rich. He has his opinions and makes them known, but he refrains from the ranting we find all too often. American media could learn from him.
