Here's the idea: the home page for this site contains the most recent journal entry, while this page will allow visitors to access previous journal entries. That's the idea, anyway. I'm not sure how long we'll be able to keep this up, but it's worth a try.

| December 1998 | The Wedding The bride and the groom were staggering, the Minister had to be propped up, and at least one of the guests was physically ill... |
| December '98 / January '99 |
Christmas in Bali In a spectacular display of faux-subtlety, the four of us secretly bought gifts for each other -- all within a space of 40 square meters. |
| January 1999 | The Triathlon Our hands chopped at the water like angry axes, carving meter after meter from the reluctant wood of the ocean... Well, that's what SOME people did. |

| June 2002 | Cairo 1: Who Cares Where We're Going, as Long As It's Not Into Debt! Rants, Two Tech Certifications, More Rants, and jumping from the proverbial frying pan into a hot place remarkably reminiscent of a frying pan. Also, some observations about the International School of Choueifat. Oh, wait, we're not allowed to talk about that. Never mind. |
| September 2002 | Summer 2002: Several Changes of Pace Leaving Cairo for the glory of green, green, green England. Rain? Okay!! Then on to Minneapolis, a thumpingly solid return to the rigors of driving the pleasures of a modern, clean city. Then back to... |
