Back to the fabric souk…

So last week my friend Gary had to get a tux made for an upcoming event. He’d never been to the souk before and had roped Jennifer into helping him pick out fabric too – she’s good but I think she’s charging for her consulting services now so no more freebies! I tagged along as [...]
Oh dear God, it’s a miracle!

In case you don’t know I’m a former militantly anti-smoker person. When Florida banned smoking outside your home I was the guy who would tell you all about it on the beach. I would flush friends cigarettes if they were unlucky enough to leave the out around me. And God help you if you tried [...]

Sydney’s still home getting over her cold so we didn’t go all out this Valentine’s Day. She left two valentines on the fridge for Anita & I and we had a few presents to open from back home. Sydney got some books, a hair clip, personalized necklace, and a giganto ring from us and some [...]

So all last week Sydney was a bit sniffly. It happens and for whatever reason its been unseasonably cold here so between that, swimming, the other million things the girls does all week she just got a little run down. That cascaded into a full blown cold and a few days at home to recover. [...]

So last night was the big night – the first annual Friends of Guiding Father Daughter Valentine Formal. It was a HUGE hit! The girls came in their finest party dresses, dad’s in tuxes, there were prom pictures, a lavish buffet (full of spaghetti and chicken tenders so even the youngest had something to enjoy), [...]
Getting ready before the formal

So yesterday was the 1st Annual FOG Father Daughter Valentine Formal. It was lots-o-fun but more on that later. Anita and Jennifer had to go early to get things set up and that meant the girls had to go as well. Fortunately they worked a room into their deal with the Crowne Plaza so they [...]
Good game, good commercials, good friends = good times

My buddy Scott had a little Super Bowl party in the middle of the night last night. He subscribes to the NFL channel which did an all around awesome job of rebroadcasting the game and all of the national commercial spots. Not being a Giants fan nor a Pats fan (Go Cowboys!) I was a [...]

Alright, I know my readership is pretty limited but there are some folks out there who stop by from time to time so I thought I would throw this out there and see if there are any nibbles. A good friend of mine who works at KGL Transportation needs Americans to fill some open positions. [...]
Braving the fabric souk

So if you’ve lived here in Kuwait for more than 15 minutes you’ve probably run across someone who will tell you how easy (“cheap”) it is to have custom tailored clothes made here. For the most part that’s not an entirely inaccurate statement. That doesn’t mean that you can just wander around town and stumble [...]
