getting ready

Hi all. Well, finally the glitches have been worked out and I'm on my way to Qatar, about mid April. I was supposed to go in January, but there were some problems about my teaching credentials. You see, the College of the North Atlantic requres a B.Ed. for their instructional staff, but at the time I took my teacher training, they weren't granting B.Eds. guess that dates me!! After lots of phone calls and e-mails we finally got it sorted out, although at one point they said that they were withdrawing the offer of the job.
I haven't minded too much however, as I was able to spend most of my time with Carolyn, a woman that I had been corresponding with on line before I got back from the North. To make a long story short, she is a wonderful woman, good looking, talented, she can cook, and she laughs at my jokes. What more could I ask for? Our relationship has grown quite serious, and actually we are making plans to be together for the summer, and Carolyn will probably join me in Qatar next December.
I plan to post messages and pictures on this site about once a week so that I can keep in touch with my friends. I would welcome any commments or e-mails that you send me once I'm overseas. It could be a bit lonely. Ciao!
