It’s been a while since my last posting. I have been quite busy at our project in Kuwait and I also took a 12-day business trip to the island country of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. What an awesome adventure all of this has been! A lifetime of memories for sure. A few of us took some time to enjoy a cigar on the beach last night at our hotel in Kuwait. There was a full moon over the Gulf. It was a pleasant time to sit quietly and talk with friends and work colleagues.
Patrick, Darren, Ren and I have been gathering at my place on an irregular basis to enjoy a cigar and each other’s company. Last night our work colleagues Sakir and Ibrahim joined us to see what all the fuss was about. My balcony is pretty small so we moved the “event” to the beach to give us all some more elbow room and so we could tell each other bigger stories.
Ibrahim and Sakir had not smoked cigars before so we had fun teasing them that their wives would not be happy when they arrived back home–with tobacco breath and smelly clothes and hair. I provided them with the cigars on the condition that they would not “throw me under the bus” when they got home. I can be such a bad influence at times 🙂
