Happy Hello Dear Readers!

The carefree days of frolicking in the flower garden have not come to an end, but are limited. I have been working on my memoirs and helping students with their research, but now other work is at hand.

Page proofs have arrived and along with reading them, the indexing has to be done. The book is tentatively scheduled to go to the printer four weeks from August 5. So, it won't be long now.

The Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC) in Toronto has invited me to interview on the topic of female suicide bombers. There has been a rash of them in Iraq. It is tentatively scheduled for next Tuesday morning, but sometimes these things get moved around; so, I will keep you posted.

Cheers!
