Gotta get used to putting 2010 in the date. I cannot believe January is over all ready. Kim and I are having a blast together, but of course, before I know it, it will be time to leave. I have been watching with interest the news about the snow storm on the east coast. 7 inches..WOW! wish I was there. The last major snow I remember was more than 10 years ago. Stephanie took a picture of the snow and my motorcycle sitting in it. I wish I was there. I guess I really should buy another cover for it, but the last one I had fell apart in about a year, and they are not cheap. I guess the covers are made for inside protection.
Still no word on the contract, so I will just play it by ear, but I did book a flight home for March 31 for a 2 week stay. I have a lot of needed repairs to do when I get there, and my fun meter is pegged here in Kuwait. I need a break and want to get to know my new grand babies at least before they start walking and talking. Super Bowl will be shown here but it starts at 2 am I think, but will watch it anyway. I will just readjust my sleep for that day.
Well I guess that's about it for now. Not a whole lot to speak about anymore.

Happy New Year!!
New Years has come and gone. So I will catch you up on the events since last posting.
I recently found out that someone has another blog by the same name as Mine. Hummm,, whats up with that! I guess original blog names are easy to STEAL, and makes me wonder about the originality of the other blogger. Whatever.... I read the other blog and I am guessing he does not like Kuwait that much and that he works at the 360 mall, which is a very nice mall BTW. I was there just yesterday to see what is new, take in a movie ("Sherlock Holmes") and lunch with Kim. They have a bowling lanes now open and we may check it out someday. I know Ashleigh will love the game room they have there when she comes back for another visit.
Kim has been here since New years eve and we have had a wonderful time together, mainly mall crawling at the Avenues, dining out and shopping and watching movies. We saw Avatar the first weekend Kim was here, just saw the regular version but it was fantastic, so much so that We may go to see it again in 3D. They recently opened a PF Chang's at the Avenues and we ate there last weekend. I can say that it is every bit as good as the PF Chang's stateside and the prices are comparable.
Also found, quite by accident, the new Sultan Center in Hawally, so we made a trip there yesterday also to check it out. They are the only place I have found that sell Tostito's restaurant style corn chips. I have tried other corn chip brands for other parts of the world and but no one does it better than Tostito's. Kim found some fresh yellow sweet corn on the cob. She was in heaven.
Most of our crew is still on vacation for another week so I am alone at the the shop for another week, then it will be back to business as usual.
Well that's about it. Drive safe! especially if you are in Kuwait.
