mesmerized by craic: February 2010
http://mesmerizedbycraic.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Rhymes with smack- just google it. Sunday, February 21, 2010. Lately I have been snagged by memories, some sad, some exciting and scary, as if I am in a geological outcropping of intense recollection. They interrupt my days, they sideswipe my tracking of current events. Some of them I have not thought of in years, and now they come in flocks. I turn each one over in my mind's eye, trying to see an alternate point of view. I kept it secret, and when I thought of it, there was a strange feeling of shame.

Welcome in Egypt!: November 2009
http://tom-in-egypt.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 30, 2009. Anyway, I went to the orphanage with Saba and Tammam today, and it was awesome. Despite my fears, it was clean, well-kept, and had computers for the children. The workers there were incredibly pleasant and answered all of my questions for me. Simply amazing. One of the little boys we visited reached out and touched my chin. He rubbed his hand on my beard for a second and then asked, "Are you a sheikh? Saturday, November 28, 2009. Sex before marriage is totally anathema to most ...

Welcome in Egypt!: June 2009
http://tom-in-egypt.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 29, 2009. You're in a chair, in the sky. There are two morals to this story:. First: If you have stock in United Airlines, sell it. Second: Watch this clip. And laugh at me. It's just a vibe I get. So I'm in the Frankfurt airport wearing green cargo pants, a pink UT Longhorns Swimming shirt, and tennis shoes and the whole time I am looking rather non-Arab. A lady approaches me and pointing to a bathroom, asks me in Arabic, "Is this bathroom for ladies? Sunday, June 28, 2009. An Elf in Egypt.

Welcome in Egypt!: September 2009
http://tom-in-egypt.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 25, 2009. Order in the court! I got back from Church in Cairo (which was awesome, thanks for asking) and settled down to write a blog post for my new LDS YSAs blog. I didn't get very far when Michael came running in and yelled, "Tom, I need your help! Does this help require me putting on a shirt? Uh, yeah, we're going to court.". Apparently the guy who messed with Sarah and Katie (full story here. If that's confusing to you, try being there simultaneously translating. I wish I was joking.

Welcome in Egypt!: Last day in Egypt
http://tom-in-egypt.blogspot.com/2010/05/last-day-in-egypt.html
Sunday, May 30, 2010. Last day in Egypt. So it's my last full day in Egypt, and I went to buy some breakfast. Of course, Egypt just couldn't let me go without being Egypt, so an old man, one of maybe three on the street, starts screaming at me. I turn and he's yelling, "Where are you from? What is your name? And good thing, too. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Last day in Egypt. Some of the few. Not the hardest test in my life. The End of an Era. Sorry Abinadi, Andrew, and Gavin. An Elf in Egypt.

Welcome in Egypt!: October 2009
http://tom-in-egypt.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 31, 2009. So, pictures are forthcoming, but I'll just throw it out there: Melissa and I were tigers for Halloween, and it was AWESOME. Yes, I just wrote that in all caps, BAM. Anyway, the tiger stripes were perfect, that was a result of Melissa's hours of hard work. The tails were sweet, good old Egyptian scarves. The hair dye was a mess, but it was fun. I love dressing up. Thursday, October 29, 2009. Is it in you? Tuesday, October 20, 2009. I'm in love with love. Summer has some good t...

Welcome in Egypt!: April 2010
http://tom-in-egypt.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 30, 2010. With all of the moving out and in confusion, I couldn't make it to Cairo for my weekly Church experience. So I took this quiz. So we packed up, canceled classes, and moved out. All that really means is that we looked at apartments while all of our stuff was sitting in our friends' houses in our same building. And we did this secretly, so that we could leave at any time should our landlady try to go nuts on us again. And so now we're back. Home sweet home. What a crazy 24 hours.
