Sorry folks, I couldn't do voice training today

I had to take my Dad to the hospital.

Yes Erin, you are beautiful, and I love you with all my heart

Home made chili

I'm actually just a puppy dog.  But nobody likes Zam the puppy dog.  Not my parents.  Not you.  People much prefer Zam the wolf.

It's 3:17 am and I just made a fresh batch of chili.  I woke up at 1:17 am to cook it.  I don't like speed cooking anymore.  I don't work in a restaurant, so why should I have to?  I cook so slowly nowadays, it makes my cats frantic.  It's a great batch of chili alhamdulillah, and there's plenty for the whole family.

Finally getting enough sleep

even though it's sporadic, the numbers add up.  Ramadan is a happening month.

The moon is clearer tonight

Every soul delivers itself to ruin by its own acts

The fish food pellets I use are quite small, smaller than the fish's mouth.  After soaking in water for a while, they expand to about 3x the original size.  I've never seen any of the fish swallow the whole thing: they just peck at it.  But at the beginning of Ramadan one of the fish did eat the whole thing at once.  The pellet expanded in its stomach, and the stomach exploded.

Qur'an 20160621

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

71.  Say, "Shall we call upon others besides Allah, things that can do us neither harm nor good, and turn back after receiving guidance from Allah, like one whom the evil ones have made into a fool, wandering bewildered through the earth, his friends calling 'Come to us", guiding him to the path?"  Say, "Allah's guidance is The Guidance, and we have been directed to submit ourselves to the Lord of the worlds."

(The Cattle 6:71)
