…as Muslims around the world feast in preparation for the fast of Ramadan.

After my post on the local mosque I picked up quite a few readers from the Ahmadiyya Muslim community. To those new readers and to Muslims everywhere I wish a happy feast and a blessed Ramadan.

…it is still less scary than knowing your oldest is going off with somewhere where a friend is trying to set him up with a girl.

Oddly in the digital age you can look up said girl on facebook etc, doesn’t make it less scary for me.

It’s worse when you are Italian. He is at college on an academic scholarship and works 25 hours a week as well. You want as few distractions as possible since that Scholarship is the only way we will pay for college right now, but when you are of Italian decent the first instinct is “Why don’t find a nice Catholic girl and settle down?”

It’s a crazy time.

So I am going to take my own advice and take it easy for the rest of the day with the exception of a couple of scheduled review posts.

If something really jumps out and me I might hit it but otherwise I’m just coasting today.
