Like the new Harry Potter book, the newest installment of the much anticipated Cade Chronicles is coming to inboxes near you.
Where did we leave off last time? Aw yes, I was stuck in Bahrain.

Time To Kill

So while my mentor was in Saudi cleaning the power plant I was stuck in Bahrain. The only thing for me to do at the factory was make some products
(none of which I would be selling) and write a 15 page email single spaced (I never wrote anything that long for school). Nothing really exciting
happened I just kind of bummed around and was bored out of my skull. We finally got me another visa for Saudi, but of course it was a single entry
one and it was the only one I could get with out returning to Houston. So we set off for Saudi. Had a little trouble at the border because I had
two floppy disks in my bag that they had to put in the computer to check out. Never mind the Cd case I had with a ton of music Cds and Richards
laptop, I must be doing something wrong if I was using floppies in this day and age.

That's Saudi Arabia for those of you who aren't reading this with a mirror or have severe dyslexia. Just a thought who decided to make the word
that describes a learning disability so hard to spell. The country so backwards and I don't mean their culture. Like for instance they are really
cracking down on speeding, but no one really cares if you pass on either shoulder or pass between two cars by using part of each of their lanes.
The drive to Riyadh was pretty boring the only thing to see was sand, sand, camels, goats, and more sand. It's kind of like driving though Kansas,
but with sand instead of wheat. There was one part just outside of Riyadh with some pretty cool sand dunes. Went back to Khobar and stayed in a
one bedroom apt. It was nice, but boring again. I didn't have access to a car or anything so there wasn't much to do. They did have a weight room
so I got to work out some and they had better TV so I bummed around and watched TV waiting to hear if we were going to finish that project in Riyadh.
That fell through. Another thing I found odd was that the door on my apt open the wrong way so the locks were upside down. Anyway Bush gave Saddam
14 days and my boss gave me 1 day. So I was on a plane home the next day.

The Longest Day Ever
=================
So I got up at 6am on Tuesday and went to the factory for one last time. Had a full day at the office and then Dinner at Sherlock's. My plane left
at 2am for a direct flight to Amsterdam. The flight wasn't too bad, but I was subjected to"I Spy" again and that was pretty awful the
second time. Had a few hours in Amsterdam so I checked email, chatted and decided to head to check out the Casino. I spent an hour or so there and
decided to try my luck at Blackjack. Nope still didn't have any luck and lost it all. I didn't feel too bad though case the dealer was cleaning
house. If someone got an 18 the dealer got 19, player 19 dealer 20, player 21 dealer 21. I swear the game was rigged, but the dealer was cool and
really seemed to be getting pissed that he was winning so much. I finally boarded my plane back to home sweet home. Although the ride was long we
did get some better entertainment. We watched "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and the new James Bond. Harry Potter was pretty
good and I hadn't seen it yet. James Bond on the other hand has gone down hill. Lasers in Space = believable, crazy gadgets = believable, changing
someone's DNA and magically changing their
