to misr or not to misr

i have to finish writing an article by midday. please note, i'm a 'lawyer' not a journalist. nevertheless, the article must be written. despite microsoft word's persistent hositility (resistentalism at its finest).

the problem is that i can't stop musing over a phone call received this morning from umety hoda. my lovely american aunt and cousins are venturing to egypt for a short stay, and this concerns me. how can i not join them?

it would only be a 10 day visit. when i misr, i do at least 6 weeks.

hmm, dilemmas. what to do. i know, how about i write this article. yep good.
