From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.” Globalization was at its fullest pre-Genesis 11/9.

I’ve been reading Thomas Friedman’s “The World is Flat” on and off. Haven’t finished yet, but I’m enjoying it. He talks about a couple dates, 11/9 and 9/11… 11/9/1989 was the date the Berlin wall was opened and the world was introduced to new possibilities of partnering, innovating and globalization. Usually, one would expect peace

I’m still in London! A day later after we took off last night to go to Cairo, there was a problem with the toilet system on the plane and I guess the stink was unbearable for the people in Business class! So 40 minutes later, somewhere over Paris, the pilot let us know we’re going
