I am leaving today for Iran–yes, it is 1:50AM and already Sunday; so today–flying around 7PM.

I told a friend today, “Yes, I would love to go to Tuscany instead, but I have no family there”; and there lies the essence of the matter. We all know how many unknowns are associated with traveling to a lively place like this, but life does not stop and allow you to plan where your roots will grow. Your roots  sprout before you do. You are who you are when you disocver existence; and that is that–for some it would be London, but for me it was Tehran.

I am looking forward to it, and because my children are with me I hope all stays peaceful while looking forward to coming back “home”–here. However, we plan on having quite a great time there, and I hope and believe we will.

If I have Internet access there, I will post. Too much to tell, but I am too tired to attempt it now. Need some sleep and still have things left to do in the AM before we leave.

Ciao for now–
