Indonesia here I am

Ate yesterday in an Indonesian restaurant. The owner was German. Surprised? Again asked myself how come that in my professional life never met a person from Indonesia? Over two hundred million people and nobody daring to talk to me?

I like his merchandising of ideas, sometimes.  Realize also that we share a common trait - not being able to shut the mouth. Whatever idea comes, if it seems interesting,  spill it out.  Gives a look of high inconsistency and was accused of being everything, from right to left, from high to low...Just trying to be entertaining. Mostly entertaining myself....

No bananas, giving thanks.

I buy banans from this stand. The guy who sells is of dark skin, from India or from the islands. Not sure if he owns the stand. Sells everyday of the week. At all hours. Went to buy bananas today, Thanksgiving day. For my mother.  He was not there. Spending the day with the family. A good holiday. Whatever his other gods and altars, this immigrant peddler understood the spirit of this American day.
