Today would’ve been my dad’s 89th birthday… Happy birthday Pa .. I miss you every day

Spent the day in meetings and talks today here in Singapore. It seemed a little cooler… Perhaps only 89° I think that that that may be an honor of my dad. I spent the day really enjoying air-conditioning

I have had it set a really interesting meetings today and gave two talks

Afterword I met up with my friend Prasad… Actually had never met before other than through email… He invited me to his home where he just moved a couple weeks ago from India who is here with his parents and his sister… Tonight is some sort of Hindu festival we’re supposed to eat with your parents so it’s kind of an honor to be there.

We had chapthi and Dahl

And I got to sample some of there wide collection of mango pickle

It turns out that today is also part of the Singaporean “ghost festival”… When Chinese trivet of Singaporeans put out special gifts to keep the ghosts from happening their houses. There were some pretty cool stuff out there

OK… Time for bed. I have an early flight tomorrow because my flight was delayed 13 hours today… Erg

Nite all, nite Sam
