So, Singdaw, how did you celebrate today?

By reading all the lovely comments here from all the great Dear Readers.

This morning the choir had a cake and sang "Happy Birthday" to me. When I got home, I opened all the cards that had arrived in the mail over this past week.

This afternoon I took a short nap.

We went to an organ recital in the late afternoon and then to the new Pizza joint which just opened in town. Very nice decor and great food.

So...nothing earth-shattering. But a nice day, nonetheless. [That's one word!]

Yes, it is good to read that DR Cillaliz is home safely and can get some well-needed rest before starting a new week.

I have returned from Silver Creek Falls. I am exhausted. We all had fun, but I didn't realize that it was Ramadan and Mustafa's daughter Noor was fasting. She chose not to go down the long winding trails due to not having eaten anything all day nor having any water or anything to drink, so Ali and I went...saw the caverns and walked under the waterfall. It is quite a treck but it is so beautiful.

Mustafa stayed with Noor until we returned and then he went and explored. Meanwhile I chatted with a [East] Indian couple while Noor and Ali tried to see if they could spot their father as he stood underneath the waterfall.

Aaack!

I'm sorry.

Is there such a thing as a "giant schnauser" breed? At least I think that's what one of the new basses in the choir said he had. 120 pounds?!?!?! His name is "Sherman."

The dog, not the bass.

MBarnum · « **Reply #246 on:** September 14, 2008, 07:04:02 PM »

Ali and Mustafa are not fasting. Ali likes food too much and Mustafa just doesn't see it as necessary. But Noor and Mustafa's wife, Maisa, were fasting...Maisa was not happy that Mustafa was not fasting and told the men that they had to fix their own meals, 'cause if she was not eating then she sure as heck wasn't going to be fixing their food!

I think fasting causes grumpiness! LOL!

....(although Maisa actually fixed a whole meal for me when we returned...she is so sweet!)

I really should give up coffee...but doggone it I have already given up smoking, drinking and most other vices.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #248 on:** September 14, 2008, 07:05:44 PM »

Well... I'm basically working 10-5 each day this week... And since I haven't been on that type of schedule for a while... And since I'm a little tuckered out after spending time with my brother and nephew... And since I've already nodded off three times in the past hour...

Goodnight.

*Although, I highly suspect I may end up showing up later or earlier on. We shall see...

MBarnum · « **Reply #249 on:** September 14, 2008, 07:06:25 PM »

Part of me wants to watch a movie...but I know that if I do I am going to fall fast asleep.

I must remain awake long enough to watch Big Brother tonight.

But weren't those vices given up by choice?

Keith slowly mixed decaf into his caffeinated coffee & is now very happy with half & half. Coffee isn't the problem, it's the caffeine. How much caffeine do you have a day?

I'm watching (or trying to) a movie called End Of The Spear - my friend and former classmate at LACC co-wrote and co-produced it. It's a Christian movie, and I went to the imdb where there are about twelve pages (more than most classic films) of ten-star reviews written by - wait for it - Christians. In fact, the only negative reviews (and they are few) are by disgruntled Christians who didn't like this or that, but especially didn't like that Chad Allen, who they say is an acknowledged HOMOSEXUAL, plays the lead, a non-HOMOSEXUAL. Apparently Christians do not believe in fairies.

I shan't be writing about it in the notes, however, so you may glean what you may from my comments above.

I'm still quite full from my two sandwiches, some Quakes, and a bag of 100 calorie cookies, and some carrots as a snack a few hours later.

Which I should have done myself first, before posting. But I've bookmarked your site!

Our Zach is a mix, we believe, but closely resembles a Hovawart profile. Perhaps we should have that doggie DNA test run!!

I have about 4 cups of coffee total, a day. If I go out to dinner I might have another cup or two.

I have had, I think, two cups of coffee in my entire life - I hate the stuff. The only time I've had it (the two times) was on TV sets when I couldn't find anything else to drink first thing in the morning.

Don't forget the Macbeths.

Sadly, I haven't heard about any houses landing on anyone!
