I‘m
getting surgery soon – nothing heavy duty, just a hernia. So I arranged to see my GP for a pre-op
physical a week in advance. The
surgeon’s assistant assured me that my doctor would receive the necessary
instructions. All I had to do was show
up – which is one reason why I did not open the thick envelope I received in
the mail from the surgeon’s office.
Today
I saw something I hadn't seen yet – a construction crane that was moving. There are construction cranes everywhere in
Dubai, but it didn't dawn on me until today that I hadn't seen one moving yet.
My
job as a professor on this study abroad trip is to help students better
understand how to build a sustainable world.
I am afraid that I am struggling with this mission. Why you might ask?
