A few updates to my YouTube account.

brooklyn

Most of you know by now that Liz and I have found our way to Brooklyn recently.

We've moved into a nice lil' place in Park Slope, and have found the neighboorhood quite welcoming thus far.

Caught Phil & Friends for Halloween. Pretty good stuff.

Also found a tiny little bluegrass joint in Red Hook.

Goodbye Dubai!

I just signed a contract with the same company in the US, and will be back in the states before you can say October!

See you all soon!

riyadh, saudi arabia

I'm in Saudi Arabia for the first time for work this week. I'm in Riyadh, which is the capital, and quite a normal city considering the other middle-eastern cities I've been in.

The only difference I have seen was that more of the women are wearing abaya's, and that no women are driving. Oh, and I guess that there is a chop-chop square as well. I'm told that every Friday before prayer the Sharia police will behead a convicted man in front of an open forum. I guess that they give an opportunity to the victim's family to let the guy go free, but that often times that the family chooses to go through with the cut.

It has to be said that I am not scheduled to be here on Friday, so I will not have to make the choice to witness or not...

Here's a photo I found of Riyadh
