How about just saying "Hi"?

Allow me to step aside for a moment from the usual hard-hitting, ripped-from-the-headlines sort of concise and insightful reports you've come to expect from Veeds of Arabia -- oh, wait, that was a completely different place -- and extend an invitation to the variety of anonymous readers who regularly visit this site.

I know a teensy bit about you from the site-meter. For example, I know you're from Finland and The Netherlands and the U.S. and Canada and France and Germany and Saudi Arabia and Australia and a host of other far flung nations. But that's about it.

I'd love to at least know who you are. Why not say "hi"?

If you'd just as soon not broadcast yourself to the teeming millions, feel free to jot a note to me privately at: jveeds@aol.com.

Your secret identity is safe with me.

Regards,

Veeds of Arabia
Your man in the sand

    Hi Jim - Well, I grew up and lived in southern Arizona for many years, and now I live in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, by way of south Florida. Married to a Saudi who taught ESL at the college level for many years. I'm an artist and writer who has held such a variety of jobs that I screwed myself out of any kind of retirement!

    Hi Anon:
    I'm not sure Arabic has the equivalent of just "hi" but the phrase I hear day in and day out in every kind of greeting situation is
    as-salaamu xalaikum which is typically slurred a bit and sounds like [uh-saLAAM-uhLAYkum] or simply [suhLAHM uhLAYkum].
