Just a few quick hits before the weekend. I am looking forward to the BBQ tonite and maybe a night out over the weekend.
The big news is that I am halfway done. I am looking forward to seeing Debbie and the kids in a few weeks.
Other quick hits: I’ll preface this one by saying that I’ve seen people pray in the streets during the Muslim call to prayer but not in our office. Yesterday, the officemate who is mourning his brother returned to work. A group of six people gathered around a table and prayed together. The nice young fellow who gave me the apple led the prayer. The mourning fellow made some comments after the prayer. I had lots of questions but it was a somber occasion so I just watched silently.
I had mantuh yesterday for lunch. All my Afghan colleagues were excited. It’s kind of like food Mom used to make. It was a dumpling not unlike a ravioli but closer to a kreplach.
If you feel like writing, please feel free. Mundane ramblings from NJ, MD, Bucharest or parts unknown are interesting to me.
More in a few days.
