A Beautiful Sunday in Las Vegas

Jamál (Beauty), 18 ‘Izzat (Might), 167 BE – Sunday, September 25, 2011 about 6:30 PM Pacific Time

Beautiful Sunday
Last night’s rain cleaned Las Vegas
Washed the city air

A new week begins. The rain cleansed the air and the city (at least my part of it) looks fresh and clean. It was a beautiful morning to sit on the couch with a cup of coffee reading the Sunday comics.

Coffee and Memories

Istiqlál (Independence), 10 Sharaf (Honor), 165 BE – Friday, January 9, 2009 about 8:01 AM Pacific Time

Drinking coffee brings back pleasant memories for me. Both my father and my grandfather were coffee drinkers. I learned to drink coffee from Grandpa Newland. When I was very young, about 3 or 4, I was sitting on my Dad's lap and he was reading the Sunday morning Comics to me. While he was reading, he was drinking coffee. I reach up, pulling the cup of hot coffee onto my lap. Dad rushed me to the hospital.

You would think that after that experience, I wouldn't want to drink coffee, but that isn't the case. I enjoy coffee. I enjoy all the memories that accompany a cup of coffee. For me coffee is a comfort food. Another thing about coffee that is interesting is that it doesn't keep me awake. I can drink coffee before right going to be and still sleep.

Coffee memories
pour across my waking mind
warm the cold sunrise.

I got out of my rut today

Jamál (Beauty), 14 ‘Izzat (Might), 165 B.E. – Sunday, September 21, 2008 about 3:22 PM Pacific time

I got out of my rut today I bought a Sunday newspaper. I haven't bought a Sunday paper in over a year. Normally, I get my news off the Internet or T.V., but today I decided that I needed a newspaper. The Sunday paper comes with a free weekly T.V. guide, for the past year I've watched T.V. without consulting a T.V. schedule.

All right, I've watched mostly talk shows and news. Not many dramas or anything like that, I do watch the public broadcasting station once in a while, but that's it. Now I can actually consult a schedule and see if there is anything worth watching.

The one thing I did miss about the Sunday newspaper was the comics. I have fond memories of Sunday comics. I remember sitting on my father's lap, while he drink coffee and read the Sunday comics to me. Maybe that's why I like the Sunday comics so much. I don't have a lot of memories about my father, he and my mother divorced when we were young.
