Maggie and Hala Used to Sing This Song around Our Office In Amman.

They Were So Charming!

I miss them so much!

I Used to Have Photos of Them,

But those photos perished in the BBQ Fire My Last Wife Set (Bitch!)

Jordan

How many women have I loved (and lost)???

Better Dust off that TI Calculator

I worked in Amman Jordan for six months.
(Parsons/Bechtel evacuated Iraq at the end of our project—USAID Rural Water Project)

Kempinski Hotel Amman Jordan

Amman: I Loved Amman

We had completed all the ‘on-the-ground’-work.
Nothing left to do but finalize the paper-work.
We could do this in Jordan.

It was ‘safer‘

So said Parsons—No need to get anyone else kilt in Iraq—Made sense I suppose.

I protested.
To no avail.

I wanted to remain in Iraq.
Guess what?

My opinions did not matter.
So I flew to Amman.

Parsons maintained an office there.
Employed locals.

An aside/preamble:
Jordan has some of the most beautiful women in the world. “Danger Will Robinson!” AKA Lance Marcom

I fell hard for one of them.
Working in that office of Parsons’
Her name was Margarete
“Maggie”

She was, of course, an Arab.
But ‘Western-ized and Western- sized:

Meaning ‘Slightly Chunky.’

We fell headlong into love.

This was a monumental fuck-up on my/her part.

I knew better—or should have—we both should have…

Known Better

We did, but we chose to ignore

The danger

I Beg Your Pardon…

Creds: Lynn Anderson

I actually gave this some serious thought earlier today.

And truthfully I was inspired by a post I read over yonder at

P.R.O.B.L.E.M.S.

We were talking about optimism.

Well Sharon was but it got me to thinking.

(Scary, yeah.)

Anyhow, I had this post develop in my head. A post about good and bad. A post about optimism and pessimism. A post about Human Decency.

Then I promised me: I Promised me I would not post it because it might sound too preachy, but when we fall away from stating the obvious, because “it has been said too many times before,” well then we forget. And dammit! Some of us need reminding from time to time.

So, here it is:

I have spoken on ‘racism’ before.

Nothing Like a Dame

No Preacher: me.

Just a schmuck.

But I love this movie.

Here are some links, if ya wanna read some scholarly shit:

This is What Consequential Truth or Consequence You Pay When You Become ‘Three Hundred and One Pounds of Fun’

Not A Pretty Sight, is It?

(Death never is)

RIP Lil’ Chair. I will always miss you.

We ‘chaired’ so many good times together.

Now you’re gone.

So Long!

No one will understand nor ‘catch’ the ‘significance’ of this photo

Unless you have travelled abroad. (Specifically UK, OK?)

Or been with a broad.

Or Both.

In more ways than one

Actually,

A hundred and one!
