Great write.
Umar, Abu Nurain Nov 21, 2007, 10:53am EST
Thank you Juan. Its amazing what revelations can come in the morning shower.
Umar, Abu Nurain Nov 21, 2007, 10:54am EST
Exactly Kate. Its about ownership.
Nothing is everything..

Oh Umar, I am sorry, I forgot to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope that you and your family will have a wonderful day together.
Umar, Abu Nurain Nov 21, 2007, 1:11pm EST
thanks for that observation Judi. I think Kate has it right to a large extent. Our normalcy is what we make it; perception is everything.
Umar, Abu Nurain Nov 21, 2007, 1:11pm EST
You got it Reena!
Umar, Abu Nurain Nov 21, 2007, 1:13pm EST
Thanks You La Bellota for the good wishes. I wish you one as well. This is probably my favorite holiday because it emphasizes family connections.

Nyota: thanks. When are we going to see you again. The yellow girl thing ain't flattering!

Thanks Amarpreet: Good to see you here!
Umar, Abu Nurain Nov 22, 2007, 11:53pm EST
Yep. Truth speaks through us sometimes.
Umar, Abu Nurain Nov 28, 2007, 12:27pm EST
Exactly. And disappointment, occassionally experienced, is a small price to pay. Right?
