Mr. Man is in Dubai....only 10,751 kms to Ottawa!!

It's OFFICIAL. Tom is in Dubai! Yay! It means he is that much closer to Canada and Ottawa. I am extremely happy. And, as most people would be, insanely envious that he is there. I decided to Google "Dubai" to see what all the fuss was about, and wow, it seems like it would be a really neat place to go!! The architecture is what really got me. I guess, where there is money, there is architectural innovation!! This mantra seems to be overbearing in the case of Dubai.

I also decided to investigate further as to what is Dubai, actually? I found a Google Earth image, as well as a map to show where this neat little place is located.
I am really excited to see Tom. Friday is coming faster and faster, but not quite fast enough!! He is definitely missed and I can't wait to have Thanksgiving-Take 2 as well as 25th Bday all in one swoop. I think in this case, excited is an understatement. I think the biggest toss-up I am having is regarding what to get him for a 25th Bday present. Should it be practical because of where he is working, or should it be timeless, marking the fact that he has hit a milestone?

I feel that this is a lot less complicated than I am making it. I guess I just want it to be almost perfect, because, as Engineering has taught me, perfect never exists. So, almost perfect will do just fine.

There is a definite excitement in the air. It feels like the day before Christmas, or the first snowfall of the year, or the first shooting star of the year...or something related to these smilies that are not working to express how I feel.

Oh well, using James Brown as a model, I think I feel good (and you can see it!!).
