Life in Abu Dhabi has slowed down as many people have started leaving for their long summer vacations. Traffic isn't quite as bad and the mall didn't seem quite as busy on Saturday. I'm down to four work days until we leave for Canada. Luckily I have the flexibility of working shorter weeks otherwise I'll lose my time. Unfortunately Darcy doesn't seem able to take time off like I can. I still don't think that the weather has been as hot and humid this spring was in the past. Of course we may be more tolerant of it now.
I've been busy trying to make online library tutorials. They're at http://www.youtube.com/user/PILibrary. I'm not a great public speaker and the tutorials don't have a crystal clear resolution but they've been fun to make. I have to rely on using free screen casting software and Apple's iMoive program until my library can get a license for Camtasia (an all-in-one package).
Our friends Rob and Karima gave birth to a daughter (Lily) last weekend. I think it was my first time holding such a young newborn (12 hours old)! Darcy and I were named Lily's honorary aunt and uncle.
