Calls

 I called 911 several times recently (Posts in this blog mention ambulance rides and health issues. I did not provide sufficient details). Police/fire personnel responded to the calls and did their jobs. I appreciate their professionalism. I don't want to call 911 in the future and I hope I would not have to. It is one of the things that came from being sick.

My interactions with the police in the past were related to health and home security. I hope no one thought I was arrested or taken into custody. My professional background and life require/call for background investigations, including drug tests. I try to be careful.


Further information

 For your information, a few posts (in this blog) on life in Linden. This information supports the prior post on my book.

Memories of Linden

 I was born and raised in ("born and grow in") Linden, Guyana. I have lots of memories of the place. Yesterday, I stumbled upon Psalm 23 in Facebook. I shared that the Psalm 23 song from the radio is mentioned in my book. In my book, I provide information on activities from childhood worth reporting such as kite flying and Christmas preparation. Some things stand out like a big, producing carambola (five finger) tree in our backyard. We used the fruit to make "fruits" (a lot like preserves) for black cake. Black cake is important. I remember a cousin supplied black cake when I visited Linden years ago. It was good. Get a copy at: https://www.amazon.com/Growing-Up-Town-Linden-Fahmi/dp/1837948542.

Hectic

 Today is much like normal. There has been so much activity, so much going on. It felt very hectic.

Remembering a hectic day when I traveled from Guyana (GEO) to Maryland (BWI) via Miami (MIA). I remember that day well. The layover in Miami was way longer than I expected. The flight was good though. There were a lot of free/unoccupied seats. I moved to a better seat during the flight. There was no issue.

Poe

 I read Poe. It is not my style but it was good. Boy, was I surprised that he wrote a poem on El Dorado. Surprisingly, there is a lot of information on El Dorado.

I am not certain which poems are better - the old poems or newer poems like Still I Rise by Maya Angelou. I enjoy reading. Maybe it depends on the topic.

I now have more ideas on when to write a poem rather than a story or essay.

One day...

 A lot of people have dreams that begin with "one day...". The information would be good as a poem. Here is a poem about a dream career:

(You could also look to other poems titled "One Day" for inspiration)

One day could be a day that changes your life. The poem could be similar to this:
