Monday June 7

At Gourmet, using free internet, and wow fresh samosas out of the oven. Need to follow up with Cricket League, and some doctors I met on Saturday. And with Dr. SM from Utrecht area.

Sunday June 6

Spent some time in East Elmhurst, then biked down to Midwood. Attended Maghrib and Isha prayers at MM, spoke to apartment-mate who is from Turkey, brought clean clothes home. Cleaned the Queens place a bit, but it was a dusty windy day.

Saturday June 5

Attended and helped out at the health fair, met a few journalists, and saw someone walk in a mosque with their heels on. Wow! Not well attended, but still had a decent day. Took the night off, spent it with family in LI.

It was a hot sweltering day. Realized how the community works, or doesn't, through the way an event was organized.

Friday June 4

Spent some time in East New York with MZ. Handed out fliers for the health fair on Saturday, gave out maybe 100 fliers, maybe more, at MM. Prayed there as well, then ran for the subway to back up to Elmhurst. Eventful day for life beyond the study.

Thursday June 3

Rode to Elmhurst, maybe 12 miles? Took the night off to watch the Celtics game, a bit of a disappointment. Didn't get a chance to write up the field notes for the day, not that there were many. Recognized a few tags, put up some more posters... getting ready for the health fair and for outreach for the study.

Wednesday June 2

Third flat tire. Second one I repaired with scotch tape and kept going since I didn't have my patch kit on me. That was on the way to the western side of Brooklyn. Today I fixed the front tire for the third time. Had a great interview in the afternoon with a mom of three, put up some fliers for a volunteer thing I'm doing, and gave some out in the evening to congregants. Going to take Thursday night off to watch the Celtics-Lakers. Started to give out business cards, that makes one feel important! Have several emails to respond to, library fines to pay, must stop being so addicted to the internet, stop drinking so much tea, and eat more fruit.

Monday May 31

Made some deliveries in Queens with AR, two in Flushing. Made a visit to BK in Kensington, might be spending more time there this summer! Still no youth confirmed for the study. Need to finish the instruments.

Sunday May 30

Dropped dad to Penn Station, returned to Brooklyn. Met MC again on CIAve, and hung out with AR. Went to Papas, nice place! Went to a new mosque, Belal.

Saturday May 29

Took the night off to watch the Suns Lakers game. If the Suns panic and resort to one-on-one play, then they are going to obviously going to lose! And if they're not going to box out like in game 5, then.... no bueno. Took a visit to CIAve with AK.

Friday May 28

Visited two schools, got to the first one at 9:02am just in the nick of time. Went to the other one with plenty of room, but had to walk cause I got a flat tire! Returned to Queens for a visit.
