Hey all,

It's been quite some time since I last posted and it's not because there hasn't been anything interesting to blog about but just because I'm lazy.  Since I last posted, I made a trip back to Canada to pick up my wife and kids.  It's been fantastic having them here after two long months.  I finally feel like my life here is coming together.  Pretty soon, I'll be able to answer people when they ask me how I like it here.

So we went to do groceries last week at a local chain grocery store and in the 20 minutes we stood in line with our 30-40 items, 3 people thought they had the right to join the line in front of us because they had less than 10 items.  I was steaming after the second guy and with the third I lost it.......he went right to the back of the line.  I've been told that we need to be careful though if the person who cuts in front is a local emiriti....no messing with those dudes, as I would be on my first ticket back home.

My next post will discuss the art of double parking in Abu Dhabi.
