Yes, it has been a while since your visit. I hope you are well. Plenty of excitement here to keep the cobwebs from forming. I've been traveling on business almost non-stop since April. In fact I'm off to Bahrain Tuesday for more business chats. I am really looking forward to putting up roots in Riyadh and have some type of normalcy. Of course, trips to Dubai are a safety valve allowing me to indulge in some fine pork and cold beer but compound life in Riyadh has its perks: private bowling alley, golf course, swimming pools,indoor tennis, movie theater, work-out room and billiards. The local Tammimi grocer (Safeway in USA) now carries fresh USA beef so I have had plenty of opportunity to grill up very tender T-Bones and sirloins.

Stay well.

Glad to hear all is going well, and good luck on your move. Sounds like it will be quite a change but at least as you said you can hit Dubai for ice cold Coronas every so often. :)
