Feast at Eid

Yesterday was Eid and there was celebration of the breaking of the fast at the camp. Actually the chefs, and I purposely call them chefs rather than cooks, can prepare some pretty good meals. There were some nice touches like the decorated fruit in the next photo.

They decorated the tennis court, put up a little tent and lights, and set up tables and chairs. It was a feast.

Peace...

Back at the Camp

While I was home I had several comments, mostly from females, about my animal skin bedspread at the camp (see How is the Camp). NONE of them were complimentary. While I don't really agree, I am sensitive to the plight of synthetic animals being treated in an unethical manner by acrylic fur traders. Accordingly, I spoke to the interior decorator at the camp and he replaced it with this understated floral print. As you can imagine, I am quite pleased.

By the way, there are some pictures posted behind Yebisu of my birthday if you are interested.

High School Revisited

I have been in Houston the last two weeks and was fortunate to be in the area when my 35th High School Reunion was held. The picture in the lower right was taken in 1973, after we had been out of High School a year or two, and the 4 young men are Chopper, Brent Terrill, myself, and Garland Ermis.

It is hard to believe I have been out of High School for 35 years and it was fun to go back and see old friends. We reproduced the pose pretty well I think. Of course it was 2:00 in the morning so the fact that we were awake and sentient was in itself an accomplishment. The picture was taken at the famous "after party" party. I got the came from the furthest away award. At least I would have received it if there had been one. Next week I'm back to Qatar...
