مش كل واحد ناجح او غني بالضرورة يكون حرامي! و مش كل واحد فاشل او فقير يعني بالتأكيد شريف!

Having worked for over 50 years in the 20th century, my parents find it hard to believe or even comprehend what I mean when I say, "I'm working from home today".
My father keeps asking my sisters, having read about the waves of layoffs that swooped the US, if this is true. "What kind of work could you do from home?"
Just like the hard working laborers of the 18th, 19th and 20th century. Work was associated with very hard laborious activities. You needed to break a sweat to actually be considered working. The jokes about the clerks, and other white collar jobs were endless to the farmers, factory workers and everyone who had to use muscle to make a buck.
It took decades to convince people that not everyone needs to work so hard, and not every type of job needs sweating. The world has changed again and the whole idea of "going to work" is changing with it.
Long long time ago ...

Five years in the age of the internet sound like a very long time. Even in the age of humans, imagine a five year old child. He is probably getting ready to go to school.
Five years is the age of this blog that has witnessed so much in this world, and so many things that it helped shape in me and in the world around me.
It's not like this blog changed the world or anything. But I look back at my self back then and now and I can barely recognize the old me.
I've made so many friends, and knew so many of you my lovely readers. One in particular became a lot more than a friend. She became the lady of my life.

It's been almost ten years since the infamous terrorist attacks against the World Trade center twin towers in which Osama bin Laden has been prime suspect and alleged mastermind. Frankly, I didn't believe he had the means or the know-how to do it then. I still don't think he did it today.
But today it's not about what I think happened, or who to blame. Today it's announced by President Obama that Osama bin Laden, the number one person on the American most wanted list is dead.
I guess Americans can finally sleep better at night, could they?
