It is 4:30 in the morning and i'm wide awake . Yesterday, at this time, I followed the nba finals via just a box score and a written play by play, but it still felt like a gut punch in the final minutes. Today was a good day Geoffrey helped me obtain a Ugandan phone so it is easier for me to communicate with my Ugandan friends. We also met julius and his wife Ketty. Julius, it is a charismatic preacher and one of the most grounded and practical man I've met in any part of the world. Oh by the way the Immodium worked. So I ordered plain rice at 1 of my favorite restaurants Pagoda .
Pagoda has new management and they were not too friendly after the chair was sitting on, I broke into pieces. Just call me goldilocks. But I paid for the chair, and we learned a lesson today. Large men should be careful on plastic chairs.
And tonight, I got to meet my friend. Aliker David Martin. We think it might have been 10 years since we have seen each other. But we settled in quickly like old friends. The cold Nile beers may have helped. It is interesting that I i call my friend both Aliker and David drew interchangeably. His good friends did we one better by occasionally calling him Martin also. Aliker has started a school called Saint Sylvester and I hope to visit next week. Our dinner consisted of oxtail, millet bread and greens coomed with a peanut sauce. The immodium held the line. I first met David years ago with a group of 25 teachers at a Buffet lunch. He loudly announced that he would get next to John in line, " I want to see if he can defend his mass."
NOTE: i have not yet figured out how to post to my new blog. So I am again posting here. I wanted to share these stories with my St. Gabriel students past and current. If you have found these via Facebook. Then please share with the others in our community.
