  Serge the Concierge — Authority: 136
  After an indigestion of Turkey on Thanksgiving, here in the US most of the news buzz is about Black Friday, a treat for shopaholics. In the wider world, on November 27, many people celebrate the Muslim holiday of Eid-ul-Adha (the festival of sacrifice) marking the end of Hajj if I am not mistaken. Here are a few ...

  Lucky Fatima — Authority: 104
  It is gonna be American Thanksgiving on Thursday and then Eid on Friday, Inshallah. Usually we have people over for Thanksgiving, but this year I haven’t bothered to invite anyone.

  Brigitte Bardot. Juliette Binoche. Anna Karina. What is it about French actresses that makes them so attractive? Well the accent certainly helps - its hard not to be drawn to someone who sounds like theyre reciting poetry even when theyre ordering an egg sandwich. But of course they also tend to be gorgeous, leggy, ...

• “You’re Such a Good Driver”

  
  Here There and Everywhere — Authority: 431
  Twice in the last two weeks, friends riding with me have said “You’re such a good driver.” You’d think I would be flattered, but instead, it makes me aware of how much I have adapted to driving conditions in Doha. The truth is, I am pretty good. The truth is, that’s not a good thing. Doha is smaller than ...

• He turns a desert into pools of water

  
  Here There and Everywhere — Authority: 431
  One of today’s readings in The Lectionary are these verses from a much longer reading, Psalm 107. When I read these lines, I can’t help thinking how this very dull and flat land, Qatar, this little thumb sticking up into the Gulf, has greened, how the oil and gas have served to green this land, to change its ...

  Here There and Everywhere — Authority: 431
  So I get on a track and I can’t get off, like a little hamster running on the wheel. I got to thinking about generations, and how long ago is 10 generations and so I had to ask Google the question: How long is a generation? Don’t you love Google? They always have an answer. Now I know something new. Now I will ...

  UrbanFaith.com — Authority: 118
  If race, as many agree, is a social construct, why are Christians so good at holding on to it as a way to define, describe, and divide ourselves? Ill tell you up front -- Im going to talk about race. I know some are tired of hearing about it, and I think thats mainly because weve been hearing about it in ...

  Here There and Everywhere — Authority: 431
  We were talking about marriage prospects, and I mentioned one young man. She hesitated, then told me “we don’t marry this this family.” “Why not?” I asked her. “He’s handsome, and kind, and I am told that they are the richest family in Qatar.” “They are Iranian,” she said shortly. ...

  What Do I know? — Authority: 137
  We got to the Arts building a bit early and Room 150 filled up pretty well.  He came on stage after a brief introduction and started to read.  Then he moved from the podium and talked until someone shouted out that he couldnt hear.  So to be accommodating, Kanter, clearly feeling confined, chained himself behind ...

  Here There and Everywhere — Authority: 431
  Today I had one of those experiences I have so often in Doha, a “no-one-would-believe-me” moment, but I have learned to keep my camera handy, and fortunately we were stopped in traffic so I could snap this one without endangering any lives, especially my own. Traffic is steady, busy, but pretty mellow. Yeh, there ...
