He..he..In his current state of mind, Seva Unkil is more likely to send me a scratch-and-sniff card with NYDiva's body odor, just to prove a point. Carvaka is a better bet but if I take him up on a lunch offer now, he'll hit me up for an Obama campaign donation every month. 

So in balance, I'll continue to watch those sheets of rain bounce off the face of the building for now. And all you happily-scarfing people, pls continue with your delicious sounding meals. Never mind me.

That's a shame. You know people(relatives) are so used to having servants there when they come here, they make it difficult for us to be good hosts. They expect 3 hot meals per day. Of course, my wife is the one who does all the cooking. The last time we had relatives, she was exhausted from cooking because she didn't get any help. She had to cook food in huge quantities because they are such big eaters. From now on, I will limit the number of days relatives can stay to 3 days.
