MY BETTER HALF.
Thank the world and the forces that brought Ayda in it. For the past 4 days, I lay in my bad, with a worst flu and stomach virus I’ve ever experienced – hence my blog absence and sabbatical. I apologize to the readers who have been wondering what’s been going on.
Today is Wednesday and I finally feel somewhat normal. I thought I never would. Oh, the agony of being in bed with a ballooning headache and having no urge to move, all while getting hot and …

DEATH OF A DREAM.
Yesterday, an unplanned night with the wife led us to watch the 30-for-30 documentary on Len Bias called “Without Bias”. For those who don’t know who he was, he was a college basketball star for the University of Maryland, and was selected as the #2 overall pick in the NBA draft for the 86’ world champion Boston Celtics. Unfortunately, he never played a game for the Celtic Green. His career ended before it began, overdosing on cocaine in a dorm room, not to far where …
THE ALMIGHTY Z.
It was high school, junior year. My first 4 years in the most disciplined school I’ve ever been to had the same routine. Wake up at 6am, get to school by 7:15, grind out the school day, and get home by 4pm, only to be in bed by 9pm to do it all over. If there was any change in that, it’s because I stayed after school in a secluded area of the lunchroom to get more schoolwork done instead of feeding into the temptation of surely playing video …
POKE THOSE.

ANYWHERE. HERE.
Previously on my blog, I’ve discussed the distinguished and distinct advantages of traveling, domestically and abroad. Aside from jet leg and, delays (I’m writing in the midst of one) empirical learning or simply seeing new things through your own eyes and doing things you’ve never done couldn’t hurt. But it gets trickier when you have responsibilities at home.
I look at my diary and I look back two years ago at this time. I was in my prime of my thwarted ascent on the corporate ladder – traveling …
1ST MEAL. 1ST DAY.
Last week, I documented what it was like participating in my very first experience in practicing Ramadan. Now it’s been a week, and I’m proud that I’m still alive to see another day at the keyboard. But this week, more than any other week, I’ve never been more appreciative of food and WATER.
