Let me tell you a story about a beautiful lady. It was a hot and humid Thursday afternoon. The Rugby Star and I were already over- and underwhelmed with our new school in Bahrain and we were itching for a little liquid relief from the heat and the madness.

When I left for the Dominican Republic, way back in 2002, everyone I knew (no word of a lie) said, 'I'm coming to visit you!'

I'm so angry and hurt by the issues … Continue reading Out of the Desert (The Last 25 Days in Bahrain)
