This is April 2nd, a Friday, in Cairo. People that I know have shuffled around and leave the city for better things to do outside in the desert, beaches and the two seas.

As for me, I stay put 9 stories high across the zoo doing things that I have been doing for the past 13 years, working late into the late hours.

There is another person sitting in front of the wall to ceiling windows wondering what he has done to deserve to be here while everyone else is in their afternoon dreams. Or maybe he doesn't mind.

I do mind but I am bound to the choice I have made. Free will is funny that way. I do not like the toil required to create this thing but again I enjoy the freedom of choice although that choice eventually binds me.

Flight theory - fun!

I was outside New York City and watched in horror what unfolded there. When I returned 6 months later, I still find soots on my 14th street apartment.

I am currently in Prague although I'll be leaving this wonderful city later tonight. It has been a great experience and a nice stay. Tomorrow I will be back to Cairo, right into the tumble and rumble.
