Mabub showed his great style putting the Remian Raider’s only goal into the net with gusto, with the help of Asif. This was not his goal shot, but an earlier shot of him centering the ball. The Raiders finished the game with a 1-1 score requiring a shoot-out. They won the shoot-out so are in the semi-finals his afternoon at the Abohani field in Dhanmondi.

My grandson, Riley helped sing a song called “Veggie Rap”, in which he was dressed in green as the (green) bean!
DRINKING TEA
I decided to interrupt the Nepal photos with this photo my friend took of me sipping Bengali tea during a photo shoot in Old Dhaka. A bus driver who ran the route from Holmes Co., Ohio to Sarasota, Fl. was discussing me with my Mom in Florida. He said it is the fellow who looks out over the top of his glasses. I guess he was right! I’d like to thank my friend Matthias, who dropped this photo onto my desktop while I was in Nepal.
