This is my nephew Faaiz.. He is just under four years old and is my favorite person to talk to.

His latest thing is to name everything after food. I am “Tomato Sauce.” His mom (my sister) is “Pickle.”

I asked him his name and he replied “My name starts with an F and ends with a Z. It’s LEMON!” It was the funniest thing ever.

The “Athar” June 17, 2006

Someone recently emailed me asking if I was named after “The Athar.”

“The Athar?” Is that the same as “The Donald?” Everyone knows “The Donald” but I had never even heard of “The Athar.” So, of course I googled the term and found this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athar

Apparently, “The Athar” are characters from Dungeons & Dragons. Okay people, I may be into tech gadgets, a few comic books and computers but a gamer I am not. I was into video games for a brief period (around 1988 I think) and the ones I played were hardly elaborate. Of all the arcade games I played, I think “Bubble Bobble” was my favorite at the time which is a far cry from Dungeons and Dragons.
