back where we started

Well I'm back in C-town (as the cool kids call it,) my trip back was alright except for the part where I missed my connecting flight, I hate JFK (the airport!)
spent most of the trip reading switching between Dr. Alkhateeb's memoirs, which are truly a delight to read, and my first Laila Alothman novel.

a song for the times.
