I have forgotten what it is like to wake up leisurely in the morning and do the comforting ritual of making coffee and savoring every sip of it. For the last 2 months, I have done the most taxing job I have ever done in my whole life---that is, living with other people under the same roof. Yes, it's family...it is Chat's house. But, it just does not fit my loner personality. And yet, I am able to tackle it in spite of my heart racing every minute due to anxiety, because of this 12-pound boxing contender who also lives with us.

Good, bad or indifferent ---life as I know it will never be the same.
In 2007 I had the opportunity to attend the Masters Golf Tournament and one of the stories I read of the Masters history, was about Greg Norman and Nick Faldo in the 1996 competition. In spite of Norman having a 6 stroke lead, Nick Faldo defeated him. When Faldo hugged him after the game, Norman wept and when he was asked if he wept because he lost, he said: "No, I've won and lost so many games in my life, but nobody has hugged me the way Faldo did." And in another interview, Norman said that "Yes, it would have been nice to put on the green jacket, but would it be as succinct as that moment of caring and emotion? That was the most enduring thing that will stay with me for the rest of my life." Hug someone today, you may need it more than the next person.

Chat and I are going to be put in a bad nursing home when Kalya finds out that we posted her drunken image. Who could tell if this is the same beautiful Kalya---she could pass for someone losing his clothes on the street while passed out drunk.
I better show her this too, so she'd see that we're not that wicked after all.
