Ramadan already? No Saad’s Halal for a month! Ah well, I guess this is how my wife and I (former Catholics) will sympathy fast with our muslim neighbors. Except we’re only fasting from the Saads and not food and water in general.
Ramadan Mubarak!

Saad:
I understand that everyone deserves a holiday, particularly important religious ones. On the other hand, this is truly devastating news, for I leave the country a day before you re-open, with no plans of returning any time soon. Please either arrange to DHL me some falafel or alter your plans.
K thanks.
