Yesterday (Sunday) was the summer solstice. To celebrate, we had friends over and Lila prepared "summer-y" foods: a salad with fresh fruit, veg burgers with all the fixin's, and fried potatoes. We also had Pink Lemonade Snapple (and lots of water).
The weather forced us to stay indoors (93F/34C, with 60% humidity), so we watched Lila's and my favorite movie, Rat Race, after lunch. Stefano and Farah brought two of their three daughters (we missed Laura!); our "best man" Alan came; and Aswini and Sudha, our Indian friends. A nice way to celebrate.
Today (Monday) brings nothing special. Back to work (final exams, and last week of classes) and trying to stay cool.
Here are yesterday's and today's published items:
- 365 Secrets of Happiness: Be Your Age (not act your age, but exercise the right to be who you are; Sunday) and Count Your Blessings (you may not be able to count them all! Monday)
- At the Feet of Sri Ramakrishna: Man is Like a Pillowcase (all contain the same "cotton")
- Meatless/Mooless Monday: A Little History (did you know the "Meatless Monday" dates back to the days of wartime rationing?)
- My Bio and more: Shenzhen Vice (a meeting with one of my city's many great men)
- Japan: Yukata! (the Japanese know how to stay fashionably cool)
- Articles: I forgot to tell you: I published a new article on the mythological and psychological significance of The Wizard of Oz last Saturday.
