After clearing our private road off all fallen branches, debris etc, I went out of our property to check the damage. Immediately encountered this tree. If somebody tried to create a blockade, they could not have done a better job. Not sure you can see it but there is a second tree lying parallel to this one right behind (see behind the main portion of the trunk).
You might remember a few months back, The Roam-ers and I had an Indian lunch together. Given the wonderful support and service the Roam staff give us (it almost sounds strange to call them Roam staff… after these many years, we are more friends than customers), Sharmila and I thought we should treat them to another Indian lunch. It is like Thanksgiving came early. From the “Indian” side 🙂
Seriously though, nothing gets me started on an office day better than a friendly banter with Zach, Katie or Micalah first thing as I get thru that glass door upstairs every single morning. Nothing keeps the day going as well as the two cappuccinos they make everyday either!
Katie’s favorite is still the “Pappadam” and apologies to the terrible papal reference in the post title 🙂 Could not help with the name being Roam… Italy…
In any case, Sunjay and I had a great time sitting down and sharing lunch with Zach, Katie, Micalah, Erin and Juan. (Coincidentally, we had the good luck of somebody from corporate Roam that day join us too, but I never caught her name!).
Made this drink after about six and a half years!. This is one part of Absolut Citron Vodka and Malibu Rum each, two parts of pineapple juice, shaken and strained into a martini glass followed by three quarter parts of Grenadine.
Joined some old friends to celebrate the spirit of Durga Puja. And when I say, “spirit”, I mean it. I completely eschewed the heavy lunch and simply stayed on a liquid diet of two glasses of wine.
Met Joyita, Murali, Rupak and Jasmine after a long time. Dang you, COVID-19!! The best part undoubtedly was spending half an hour with Riya discussing her current drive to help the cause of Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!
Ventured out for the first time in Fowler Skate Park. Molly and Bill went back to the trail for more miles and I took advantage of the fact that no kids had shown up yet at the skate park. Compared to my driveway, the surface was far smoother – so, needed some adjustment. Eventually, the kids started showing up and I high tailed it before they could have too much fun at my expense…
