Me Around the World: August 2010
http://caroundtheworld.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Views, opinions, and musings from every corner of the globe. Thursday, August 19, 2010. The Ramadan Chronicles, Part II: Religion. What is the spirit of Ramadan? What is up with all this fasting and praying for a month? Ramadan prayers outside of the Hassan II Mosque in. The world's 3rd largest mosque, after Mecca and Medina. Or the sake of their reputation, or societal pressures. This is also the case in Morocco during Ramadan. 8220;Are you going to fast this year? 8221; I asked my friend Mustapha.

Me Around the World: The News
http://caroundtheworld.blogspot.com/2011/03/news.html
Views, opinions, and musings from every corner of the globe. Tuesday, March 8, 2011. Today's news was so interesting! First: thumbs down for President Obama, as he issues an executive order. To create indefinite detention for Guantanamo Bay prisoners, a blatant contrast. To his very first executive order as president. Thumbs up for former Commander in Chief of CENTCOM, General Anthony Zinni,who has obviously been following my articles on. In about 1000 words. Ugh, whatever. Not bitter.

Views, opinions, and musings from every corner of the globe. Saturday, January 29, 2011. 8220;The chief happiness for a man is to be what he is.” -Erasmus. Gretchen Rubin spent an entire year concentrating on increasing happiness by working on particular aspects in her life: her marriage in February, her work in March, her friendships in June, spirituality in August, etc. She writes about this year-long journey in The Happiness Project. I mean, I personally love foreign policy, but I see her point. Too o...

Views, opinions, and musings from every corner of the globe. Sunday, February 27, 2011. The February Mean Reds Cake. This February has signaled a sea change in a lot of areas of my life (see previous post), none the least being that my at-least-(yikes! 10-year streak of heartwrenching, horrible, depressing Februaries has been broken. I repeat: the curse has been broken. I attribute this partially to me having outrun the month to a brand new city. Partially to a new, defiant, “I-can-do-this! Mix the butte...

Me Around the World: November 2010
http://caroundtheworld.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Views, opinions, and musings from every corner of the globe. Sunday, November 28, 2010. This is the deepest secret that nobody knows. As an annual tradition, below is a list of blessings that I am thankful for this year:. William J. Fulbright and his idea of cultural diplomacy. Laughter. There's not enough of this around. Dinner parties with friends. Sunsets, so I know that at the end of the day, all is not lost. Community with the same faith. White and yellow daisies, on sale in the medina. I mean, does...

Me Around the World: Whose Win is it Anyway?
http://caroundtheworld.blogspot.com/2011/05/whos-win-is-it-anyway.html
Views, opinions, and musings from every corner of the globe. Monday, May 9, 2011. Whose Win is it Anyway? Osama Bin Laden's death may be the most important event for the War on Terror since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. However, many war hawks have taken the opportunity to tout the success of using torture to advance our security objectives. A win for the War on Terror does NOT equal a win for torture! My article on PolicyMic. Hot off the presses, and tell me what you think!

Views, opinions, and musings from every corner of the globe. Sunday, September 26, 2010. Les Celliers de Meknes and Grown-Up Fig Newtons (AKA: Anti-terrorism Hashuma Cookies). There is one word in Moroccan Arabic which describes everything that is socially unacceptable, shameful, irreverent, and naughty. You hear mothers use this word when their children get too rowdy. You hear street vendors use this word when a client is trying to get too. Literally, for shame. Fasctinating…but still hashuma. It was su...
