Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

August 31st, outsourced

A lot of travel this week. Not so much internet surfing.

We may never know if Lance Armstrong doped.

Liz Taylor wrote a diet book, and this lady tried it. Hilarious.

An Emirati father of three rescued a newborn baby from a stolen car. Awesome story.

I'm not sure which weird feature of this story to highlight. That its tone and accompanying photo are oddly joyous for what seems to be a severely premature baby? That it doesn't elaborate on the fact that the stewardess "found" the baby in the toilet? That the parents are seriously naming the boy "EK"? Or just that it's a neat baby-born-on-an-airplane story? Take your pick.

If only the parents of little Isabella and Jayden had known about Baby Name Voyager. [HT Jessie]

Easy, breezy, 15.25 hours

Saying goodbye
