I delayed my departure date so that I could go to my family reunion. It was great to see everyone. The Hooper clan was up from Arkansas. I haven’t seen most of them in 10-15 years. Kevin (and kids) and Christine were down from Wisconsin. There were about 60-70 people there. It was a good chance to say goodbye to everyone. I look forward to the one in three years where I can tell everyone how it went in Qatar.

I am leaving tomorrow afternoon for Qatar. Don’t know when I will have internet access again, but I will post when I get things settled. I hope everyone has a great time here. I will miss so many of you. Keep in touch.
