• Entering Divadom

  Kinda weird, this whole writing for lifestyle magazines is. I am the archetypical anti-diva, so when I started writing for VIVA, I had to put away some of my more pharisaical attitudes about spending time and money on the deadest parts of ones body (ie: Read More...

• Interfaith Dialogue at the Ball Game: A Model

  Baseball season is great fun. In spite of Amman being SO small, there are some ladies I only see during baseball season.

  There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about the tragic death of Hikmat Kaddoura, since I drive by the place where he died regularly.
