Greetings from sunny-and surprisingly cool Bahrain. Back here for work and to see the changes in the city. I first started coming here in 2002-and at that point it had been some 20 years since I had visited the ASU (politely nicknamed the Alcohol Support Unit) in those days. The

Feeling much better…….
Well, I got that off my chest. Sometimes you just gotta do that. And I got a good nights sleep. And soon I am headed to the airport to do one of my favorite things-travel to a far away place. Because-its a beautiful world. And anytime you are going to
