It's almost Ramadan

Yes, only one month left until Ramadan.  Ramadan is the fasting month for Muslims, where we do not eat, drink, swear, smoke, and engage in sexual activity from dawn to sunset every day for one month.  Most people dread Ramadan because they don't get to stuff their faces whenever they feel like it.  Weaklings.  But I like Ramadan.  It's my favorite time of the year.  I usually stay up most of the night cooking, but then I usually sleep in since there's no lunch to deal with.  I don't eat heavily for breaking fast, because there is extra worship at night at the mosque after the night prayer.  So I generally break fast at home then head out to the mosque.  There's always more food there too, so the challenge of Ramadan is actually not to gain weight.  Ironic, huh?  Also, lots of weird and wacky stuff occurs during Ramadan.  I like Ramadan.  It's my favorite time of the year.
