Acknowledgement
This is just to acknowledge that the title of this blog was suggested by friend C. You can find her by following the trail from her comment on Day 2 post! Thank you , Thank you! If it weren't for you, this blog might be called "the Hawler Howler".
I know you weren't but figured that I'd better in case no one noticed your comment....credit where credit is due. Oops... the power just went out! Part of the fun of living here... but we are luckier than the rest of Iraq, some people only have electricty for 4 hours or so a day. We are on generators both at the University and at the motel.
A friend in Taiwan characterized me as someone seeking stability in risky environments. If she knew I had relocated to Northern Iraq, she would probably feel she had been proven right... But the truth is, life is quiet here... so far. But it's true that I love the challenge of figuring out yet another new place. I wonder if my curiosity will ever be completely satisfied. Charlie Chan said, "Curiosity responsible for cat needing nine lives." I only have one, so I better satisfy as much as possible before it runs out... or hope that I come back as a cat.
