Egypt and Beyond




Well, I'm turning native. I drove and parked on the SIDEWALK last night in front of the grocery store. Next I'll start wearing lots of leopard print.

I went to Egypt weekend before last. It was incredible. Saw the Sphynx, the Giza pyramids, Memphis and Sakkara, a carpet school, a papyrus shop, the Egyptian museum, lots of mosques, Coptic churches and one of the oldest synaguogues in existence. It was one of the most incredible trips in my life. And I went there for the weekend. Doesn't it sound cool to say, "I went to Egypt for the weekend?!" We even took a Nile cruise.

Molly Ivins died yesterday of breast cancer. I've been thinking about our coup in college and how it was we ever convinced her to come to SMU. What were we thinking-standing in the long line at the bookstore and basically begging her to come and speak at our conservative school. Then getting the money to pay her and getting through Liz and the sqauwking bird to finally get a yes. Then picking her up at the airport and taking her to her dumpy little hotel accross the street and trying not to let our mouths hang open too far as we were sitting with her (and several other amazing women) at dinner....she will be missed. But what dear memories you and I will always have. Thanks for your moxie-I couldn't have done it without you.-
