Cairo passes Chicago

Sorry, it’s probably going to sound a bit frightening that I know this, but… as of today I have spent exactly as much time in Cairo as in Chicago, and as of tomorrow Cairo will be my 2nd most familiar place on earth.

Tiny Mount Vernon, Iowa remains far in the lead, and will for some years to come.

Tonight’s party is not for that reason at all, but it’s more ceremonial than the actual reason, so I’ll pretend it’s in honor of my becoming even more Egyptian.
