Just back from a wonderful trip to Abu Dhabi for Thanksgiving break, and doubtless I'll have more to say about that in the days to come (including a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner provided by my great friends Mel and Rob, in which Laura and her sister Heather got to experience their first Thanksgiving - and the mystery that are candied yams). In the meantime, here's an odd sign for a maid service that we came across. On the one hand it seems like a clumsy name, but considering the prevalence and status of foreign workers in the UAE it might be dead on.

Being a visiting professor was a great gig there, but we were also clearly just mambers of the food chain of foreign workers (although pretty near the top). |
