About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Wake up in the morning, open BBC News, click on Middle East without expecting the worst...

ABOUT ME

I enjoy conversations, a real conversation is always a great thing, whether its about Global Warming, or the last re-run of Seinfeld.
I enjoy a good laugh, a good drink, and a good movie.
A good read will always lift me up, and a bad book will always put me in a bad mood.
I believe coffee is a great invention, so as vodka, lemon tea and apple juice.
I think of earth as one big olive.
all in all,
