Any suggestions for a more exciting life gratefully received.

Let's see. Today was busy and I'm surprised I'm still up, but I had to check my TMW. Here's what I did (since Saturday is over for me):

* got up early (7:30am UAE time, which is 10:30pm NYC time, I think)
* Went to the Mall of the Emirates and went skiing for 2 hours. Seriously.
* Lunch at a fantastic Turkish restaurant.
* Caught a cab over Deira where there is a marketplace called the "Gold Souk". Spent a lot of time looking at things that sparkle and shine, almost bought a pearl & diamond necklace & earring set, but managed to exercise restraint.
* "Home" for a bit before getting picked up to go "dune bashing". Dune bashing involves getting loaded into SUVs and being driven around in the Arabian Desert at somewhat insane speeds. Wicked fun.
* After the dune bashing, we were taken over to a bedouin-style camp where the desert safari group made us a tasty meal (Indian cuisine) and we got to watch some belly-dancing.
* "Home"
* TMW a bit. Soon... bed.

Tomorrow we're headed to Abu Dhabi to actually do some "work" (i.e. sight-see for several hours then sit in a couple well-catered presentations given by companies that really really want us to work for them).

Today I rode solo. I covered about 120 miles. Mostly in the country. I stopped at Sonny's BBQ in Statesboro, Ga. and had a rack of baby back ribs for lunch. Statesboro is a college town so all the eaterys are manned by college hotties. (or should I say womaned by college hotties?)

After that, I stopped by an Auto Zone and bought a can of Sea Foam. I hear it's good for cleaning out the carbs and preventing major problems. Then I gassed up, poured some of the sea foam in the tank and hit the road again.

I rather like riding solo. It's not that I'm anti social, it's just that I enjoy the ultimate sense of freedom a motorcycle offers with the added joy of stopping when I want and where I want.
