Dar Issar Faslha Che Shkoohist, There is such glory in allowance of seasons,
Oh what a few nights of good sleep does to you, also having the normalcy of every day living. last night we had a great gathering over Akram's house, she had outdone herself, and the beauty of it, is that she does it with such ease and grace. Miraaneh's Parents are here from Iran, so we had the privilage of seeing Mr, and Mrs, Manzoori. He is such a gracious Devil, a man with appetite for life, and there is always mischief in his eyes, easy to talk to, and very charming. Hootan was there too, with Alexandra and Ruby, Alexandra is not very talkative, and she probably is till trying to make sense of who we all are and what we do, and RUBY, Alexandra's mother, always dressed to the nines, beautifully done short hair, moosed, and stylish, one of the most well dressed ladies I have seen in my life, she is beautifull, very poised with infectious laughter.
We were sitting across the table, and you know how I can not resist pretty ladies, so we were flirting all night,there is something very lively about her, very precious. I always enjiy having her around, and she promissed we go drinking, the two of us, one of these nights.
Hootan, our Doctor in residence, has a inquisitive mind, you can always count on him to come up with some interesting facts about the latest news or discoveries. He is very well read, and a bit of recluse. Last night we talked about Tery Schivo, the girl that has benn in vegitative state for fifteen years, and now they have taken her feeding tubes out, allowing her to die, Hootan brought to our attention that what we seem to forget is not her living but the quilty of her life, being fed by tubes, and wearing dippers, can we call that life, with no hope what so ever for any cure, or progress in her condition. He was angry that how politicians are rounding up to take advantsge of her situation for their own agenda. He also talked about Dr, Kevorkian, Dr, of death, and his incarseration." There is a point in life, that the persistance of pain, and lack of any cure, would make life much worth than death", Hootan implied. I have respect and admiration for Hootan's intelligent and his skill as a Doctor, and this coming from him was a new angle for me to look at this situation, and I should say I do agree with him.
On the lighter side, it seems the good Doctor is visiting the site, since he was telling Ruby, that I have made a fortune acting in Gay porn before I met Marajan, that's exactly the line I used introducing Majid at the NOROUZ party, He also told Ruby that I am a transvestite in my head, and write graphic poetry with a womean's voice, I encouraged Ruby to specially check my poem< Ode to my Breasts, she laughed not knowing but definitely presumiong we were joking !!!. After Dinner, Ruby and I played indoor plate throwing, by wooshing a paper plates across the table, it was fun and of course she won. The kids got their Eidees (cash gifts), lots of money exchanged hands, Amir and Julie have kept their traddition of giving Gold coins to the kids, which is such an old and gracious way of gift giving. Marjan was exhusted due to lack of sleep, too much partying, and excersing, taking care of her brood, and also our guest Majid, for the last few days, so she left early to go home anf get some sleep. It was a great evening, between the food, the smilling, kind faces, being around each other,
Joking, and laughing, knowing you are wanted here, and you are loved,
and hopefully we will get to do this again and again, yup, good memories are made when you are enriched, body and soul.
