I measured the cat tonight

In my last post, I said I somehow forgot to click “Publish” to post my blog entry.

One of my most vivid memories of childhood are from the years I was eight and nine, when me and my family lived in Libya, right before Qaddafi kicked the Americans out of his country for good. My first memory of Libya […]
