It’s been an easy work week.  Caps and gowns are in, so my girls are really excited about their upcoming graduation.  We’re just finishing off some  last-minute review and then khallas it’s exam and ceremony time, and then they’re on to university.  Inshallah and a big ole humduallah!

It’s getting hot here, as it tends to do.  Today it’s 108 F, and it will only get hotter.  Thank God we have our chilled pools and air-conditioned everything.  This weekend I’m pretty much cooling off at the pool or reading on my chaise.  I’m saving money because next weekend I’m off to Dubai to see some friends sky dive (um that’s a big hell no on my end) and celebrate Jordan’s and my birthday, so a weekend home is a good way to give my wallet and body a healthy break — before I do more damage to both.

Since I don’t have much new to report right now, here’s the latest edition of Teach UAE.  A letter from me to new hires is on page 18, and my buddy Suzanne has a piece on repatriation (so very sad she’s leaving) on page 39.  There’s a whole bunch of other goodies in between, so give it a read when you have time.
