Yesterday I hung out with both Hamad and Daniel at my house. I picked up Hamad and we went to Publix, where shopping is a pleasure. We picked up some burgers and headed back to my place, where Hamad helped me set up truckpool. Truckpool is our rendition of the redneck hot tub, and an excellent way to spend a lazy Sunday. We put some jacks under the suspension of my truck ( to support the water and body weight), put a tarp in the bed and filled it with water. This was a good team building activity. By this time a few of my friends had shown up, as well as Daniel. We moved our ping pong table to the frontyard and lit some coals for the grill. Beer was flowing like water. I offered beer to Hamad, but he refused. I don't think he's ever drank before, an unheard of feat for people our age here. Although I would like to enjoy a cold one with him, I respect him for standing up to the peer pressure.
This was a good opportunity for Hamad and Daniel to meet some more of my friends and have natural conversations. There was a lighthearted, tailgate-ish atmosphere, and it was a pleasant day all around.
Truckpool...genius! This is some new cultural information for me as well ;)
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to hear more on what the natural conversations were about. Enquiring minds would like to know!
