My globetrotting brother is off to yet another place on the planet that nobody wants to be, as a matter of fact the Canadian government is evacuating it's own nationals by the hundreds. This is the kind of guy my brother is, though he will tell you that he is sipping champagne by the pool in a 5 star hotel far from danger, we know he craves the proximity that is slightly more volatile all for the sake of a good story. He has been to Afghanistan twice, Pakistan (though not under siege my malevolent human forces) and now we find dear "Pokey" in Lebanon.
Worried though I may be, I know the instinct to stay safe and return home is strong, because after all, I live near him and... well... I'm not quite sure how to tell you this, but..... I'm kind of a big deal.
And I know the instinct is alive and well, because I saw him in the thick of the Saskatchewan brush searching for a golfball that would have been more rare to find therein than a burmese python; and I'm pretty sure he didn't find either.
Take care bother-man.

But I AM sitting by the pool in a five-star hotel. OK, I haven't gotten to the pool yet, but I can smell it when I eat breakfast.
There are a lot of dumbass things to do in Lebanon right now, and I'm not doing any of them. So relax. It's all good. High speed internet and everything.
In fact, my boss sent me here with explicit instructions NOT to cover the war. Just the people taking a mediterranean cruise. Nothing more.
Later! LJP
Then at least watch for poorly cooked shellfish and skunked beer...my thoughts are with you, and if you do come across some putrid, rank, barely edible cuisine, run...run far far away.
Take care dude!
Ma can put away her meds. I'm in Damascus, which is a very nice place if you're not a suspected terrorist or agitator. Ok, ok, I promise not to agitate while i'm here.
Sould be home Sunday or so. Les.
Given my childhood memories, I suspect you of both. Terrorizin' agitatin' bastard!
