Be careful what you wish for.

So, you may know I have a round thing thing. It give some structure to my behavior at times, so I can say I have a reason to wander off and stare at the ground. Sometimes it leads to some creative ideas (which I rarely use to create anything). It makes me look at the world in a certain way and see things I might not otherwise pay attention to.
Round thing with boy, Erbil July 2009
It’s led to to wonderful places like huge junkyards; and led to wonderful friendships.
Friends at the junkyard in Ankara.

Awhile back, I posted about my office at the soon to be Iraq Institute. I asked people to vote for which view I should have – garden or used furniture market. (Market won by the way.) What I never imagined though, was that I might be greated by this each day when I walked in the door. (About one more month and we’ll be moving in.)
This blog is a random collection of thoughts about people I know, places I’ve been and things that interest me. I am a conservator who works with archaeological and ethnographic artifacts and the people who care about them. It’s a good life.
