Hello?!

I feel this title sums up our work week quite nicely. We were busy, busy this week and received several messages questioning our whereabouts! Well, we are ALIVE and WELL. Here's what kept us from the blog (and the book!):

* TUTORING. I tutored every night - sometimes visiting more than one household in a single evening! It seems a bit overkill to most, but I really enjoy having "biology" time and "middle school" time, since I do not experience either of these at work! The students I tutor are nice to work with, and I am well taken care of whenever I am at their.....mansions. (A cup of tea goes along way with many, but a VERY, VERY FAR WAY with ME!)

* COACHING. Phil is coaching the varsity boys soccer team and frequented many "pitches" this week to complete his try-out process. One of the fields had prime waterfront location, couches for rest breaks, and water/gatorade stations for the thirsty participants. Not surprisingly, this field belonged to a student, who also provided round trip accommodation for Phil and the assistant coach, Richard, to get to and from the field. Things sure are different here!

Anyways, this week we hope to have more time to share our adventures in Q8 (<---- "Kuwait", in cool-student terms). If the city ever fails to be interesting, you can bet our relationship makes up for it!
