HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my son, Austin & my sister, Lillian!! Here is a self-portrait Austin painted. I took the photo at his house while celebrating his Bachelor’s Degree in Art from the University of Akron, in 2007.

CHAPATIS in the making. This fellow in the Mohammadia Housing section of Dhaka came to the tea stand I was at and wanted me to take a photo of him and his wife as she was making chapatis (flat bread). Very tasty, in fact I had some for lunch at a friends house.
NICE HEAD SHOT by a teammate while Masum (red jersey) looks on. I play with these fellows early on Friday and Saturday morning. We have a match at 4:15 at the TNT field. If we win we are in the semi-finals.
SCRAMBLE to get on this Mirpur Rd bus in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The other day it happened to me, so I wrapped my right arm around the bar between the window and the door, until there was enough pushing and shoving to make for both of my feet to be on the floor.
REBEKAH Petersheim and her Dad exchanging cake, celebrating her 2nd Birthday!
GRANDMA with her grandsons, Riley, Pruitt and Jensen. They were all in a festive mood since it was her birthday.
MUTTON CURRY, a very tasty Bengali dish was prepared by my friend’s (fellow footballer) Mother for all the football players to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. We ate this along with porotas and a special cake. Halim’s Mother is a wonderful cook. I’ve had two meals in their home, and he just called last night and wants me to come sometime and bring my wife.
DAL AND BHAJI (spicy lentils and vegetables and pototoes) is one of my favorite breakfasts with nan ruti!! Khub moja! or in English “very delicious” Here is some ready in bags to take home. This shop was in Mohammadia Housing here in Dhaka.
MOMOS
These were one of our favorite treats during our Nepal visit. Filled with cabbage, etc.
ROADSURFACING WORKER in Iqbal Rd. takes a break from feeding the fire to check out the photographer.
TRAFFIC POLICEMAN are a neccesary part of the operations of Dhaka. Do they pay any more attention to the policeman than to the traffic lights. Probably more attention to the policeman.
PHOTO PAYBACKS
As I took a photo of this street black-topper, he whipped out his phone from somewhere in his lungi and decided to take a picture of me.
