Well, it's that time of the year again, and No-Shave November is coming to a close. Tomorrow is the big competition, and the next day is the exhibition. Pretty exciting, I know. It's normally No-Shave December, or Decembeard, or Handlebar Hannakah, but since Molly's coming in December and I know she hates facial hair, I charitably moved it to November. There's actually a Movember, a Mustache November, which is a charity for prostate cancer research. How about that?
Anyway, I went to the orphanage with Saba and Tammam today, and it was awesome. Despite my fears, it was clean, well-kept, and had computers for the children. The workers there were incredibly pleasant and answered all of my questions for me. Simply amazing.
One of the little boys we visited reached out and touched my chin. He rubbed his hand on my beard for a second and then asked, "Are you a sheikh?" He meant a sheikh of Islam, so I said no, and then he asked if Tammam was a sheikh.
So No-Shave November brought holiday cheer to the orphans, too. It's a No-Shave November miracle.

You still doing that Molly thing?
ReplyDeleteIf by that comment you mean that Molly is coming out to visit me in December and January, then yes. How nice of her to come and see me. When were you thinking of coming?
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I found some prayer rugs. I can get one to you in about June 2010. Will that work?
