October 6. It’s, inshAllah, the morning of our flight: about 13 hours away at this point [ironically also the duration of the first leg of our flight], and I figured I would do one last pre-hajj post for my recollection later.

You know, because I didn’t have enough on my plate already. It’s semi-homemade because I took store-bought …
Last night, my brothers and I went to the US Open. It was my first live tennis match and I loved it! See, I know not to call it a game! We saw Nadal play against Kohlschreiber, and left before the second night match [a mens’ double]. The stadium, Arthur Ashe stadium, I believe is supposed to …
