Another Sad Goodbye

Nahum is leaving tonight. He has been such a productive member of our team, I will hate to see him leave. When he arrived, the group was just starting to take mock calls. He saw that they weren't using their tools correctly, so he spent a lot of time working with them and drilling them on how to use their Tribune tools. This has helped considerably. Group 2 has it very tough. They have two very demanding groups, Chicago and Orlando, and two less demanding groups, Sun Sentinel and Daily Press. There is a lot to know and remember. KJ always stressed using their reference material for Orlando and Nahum has done the same for Chicago. Please have patience, folks in those cities, they will get there, given a lot of calls and time. It will be easier for them because Nahum cared so much and worked so hard to get them started on the right path.

Sophie and Nahum will always be the eaters in my experience in India. The fact that they were picky eaters is beside the point. They didn't seem to like to eat at the apartment. That's where I'd rather be, but we tend to stick together. Now that Sophie has gone, we've eaten out less, but still more than my body needs. I did take Nahum and Nancy to the Blue Ginger on Tuesday. This was one of Harriet's favorite places and the place where KJ learned to eat with chopsticks. It serves Vietnamese food and looks like a cabana. It has a high roof and open sides. I ate my obligatory scallops and a mango salad. Nahum had lamb chops and shrimp fried rice. Nancy had a delicious chicken and noodles soup and a chicken dish. The food was great, but the fun was the monsoon. It started to rain, then lightning and thunder, then the skies opened and dumped water. You can't call it rain. It's like the shower I've been dreaming of. Hummm. Next time, I'm taking the shampoo outside and finally getting my hair really clean.

We got there before a drop of rain fell. This gave us time to admire their gardens and start our lunch. Then the heavens opened. Holy cow! You can see them lowering the plastic curtains to keep out the rain. Anyway, the plastic kept the rain out and the whole thing stopped just as we were leaving. This is some resaturant. They even provide a floor show.
