on my way home
For those of you who don’t know, I’ll be on a 777-300ER (?), with flatbed seats, in a few hours and on my way home for a nice extended break in NY with my friends and family. This is only my third trip home in 9 months, but my previous visits have been a week or less, and therefore hectic and stressful. This time I’ll be there for more than two weeks, and I am looking forward to seeing you all. I am headed back to Dubai on January 6th, so we’ll have time to fuck about. I even have a local NY phone number for my mobile, so it will be easy to get in touch.
So call, write, tell my mom, whatever. I’ll see you soon. If I don’t, have a Merry Christmas (or other assorted holiday) and a Happy New Year.

Have a good one brother. You’ll be missed on New Year’s Eve – I had high hopes for Brokeback Barbeque 2. Funnily enough, we just moved a couch tonight and your vomit stains from the last one form an almost-perfect cross in the grout between the tiles. Which, in the spirit of the season, is quite appropriate.
Merry Christmas Chris, and a Happy New Year; we’ll see you for more fun and frolic in ’07.
