The boyfriend hasn't blogged since the beginning of the year, and I don't think he's noticed. I have. His blog was my source of national news* so I'm a little lost lately. People have been mentioning some "ports deal" and saying "United Arab Emirates" a lot, and I can't seem to figure out why...
Speaking of the UAE, Matty thinks the state flag of South Carolina looks more like that of an Arab nation. We certainly have the whole crescent moon thing going on.

*I WOULD read my NY Times, but don't even get me started on that again.
