What a great night it has been to finish off an even better day. It all started well when my father and I went to breakfast. Im glad I have a good relationship with my dad. We went to a place that had real pork bacon. They allow pork over here but only at specially licensed restaurants and grocery stores. In the butcher shop its like a special section you walk in…like the old video stores and the porno section. It says rather blatantly…for non-muslims only. The bacon this morning was delicious. You know you don’t really appreciate a good ham sandwich till you can’t have a ham sandwich.
I knew I had a lot to do in a little bit of time. I work 6 days weeks now with the acting class and last night I was at the office til 10:30 p shooting a promo video. So I didn’t feel bad about taking part of the afternoon off to visit with my parents. So I got a lot of work done in a very short amount of time. I was really efficient. My parents came by and they saw KSDi and met the entire staff. I was quite proud to show them our operation. Khalifa was excited to meet them. Before they arrived…he asked..how old are they? I responded…they are your age around 69-70. He got excited…”Oh they are young then.”
It was a wonderful visit with Khalifa and my parents. He had so many good things to say about me its almost as if he should become my publicist. We also had a very good laugh. The man has an amazing sense of humor and is quite witty. We decided that we were going to have lunch together on Wed. and then weather permitting make it on his boat on Friday. I think my parents are having a really good time here. But it’s a little strange. It seems like everywhere I go with them I run into someone that I know. That someone when introduced to my parents…usually go on and on with their compliments about me to my folks. Its almost as if Im staging these people and scripting what they have to say. Im nost sure if im running into these people because Im growing in popularity or if its just that it’s a small island. I think it is a little of both.
After that we walked around the City Center Mall for a bit. It’s the largest mall in the Middle East and just recently opened. We stopped by Gallery One, who will buy our pictures. I had a nice talk with Alex, the manager. He set up my meeting with the owner. We are anxious to get the ball rolling on this.
After that I came home and worked out for a bit. I work the weights every other day. After that we went to the Ritz Carlton to have dinner with Nader and his lovely wife Kirstie. Nader is so incredibly well versed on every subjet..I think he’d be able to talk about anything with the exception of “Why I love George W. Bush.”
It was a great evening and I know my parents had a great time. Its nice being able to share this part of my life with them…since they are my family now that I’ve lost the other due to divorce and manipulation. They quite like Bahrain and are looking forward to their next trip out here.
Im tired…is 1:15 am…so im going to go to bed now.
