88. IN THE AFTERMATH OF AN ORDEAL

My dear HeyDude,

My wife is cooking in the kitchen. She doesn't have the faintest idea that I nearly died 30 minutes ago. I didn't make up my my mind whether to tell her about my ordeal or not.

87. The Wonder Years With My Kids - 3

From Smartcracks Collecton On Our Son.
Hirusha and the Ethiopians

In an effort to make our children think twice before wasting any resources, we always took the less fortunate ones than us like the homeless people, the children in Somalia, and Ethiopia, etc. as examples.
“Hey don't waste food. There are millions in places like Ethiopia dying in starvation at this very moment.”

86. CRAZY HOBBIES. JOIN THE CLUB?

Well, just like a lot of people out there, I have some curious pastimes I've had as long as I can remember. If time cures it - in case it is a disorder - well, the time is up. So, no worries. They are here to stay.  There would be million other hobbies like this one out there some of which I share too, that you are (perhaps secretly) engaged in. And there would be millions out there who share the same interest that you are going read next.

Well without further ado, here we are.

85. Well, that's what it's all about, isn't it?

No birthday cake.
No gifts.
No party.
No guests.

Still I had the most memorable birthdays I've had in a very long while, yesterday, even though our kids were not home this time.
