Comments on: Who’s that boy? http://palestinethinktank.com/2009/08/12/who%e2%80%99s-that-boy/ Free Minds for a Free Palestine Sun, 21 Mar 2010 19:34:06 +0300 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Mary Rizzo http://palestinethinktank.com/2009/08/12/who%e2%80%99s-that-boy/#comment-11187 Mary Rizzo Mon, 17 Aug 2009 08:45:50 +0000 http://palestinethinktank.com/?p=4232#comment-11187 Thanks Ftp! I know... it's astounding how quickly they grow, how big and how impossible it is to eat them twice a day but what a waste to throw them out. We already gave many away, but people seem to refuse the big ones (here people want them small and tender, but that would mean attending the garden every day, and we live 40 km away and only go on weekends!) It's weird how these cake recipes call for apple in it! (apple is not in season here - or anywhere maybe.) Generally a that has a fruit or vegetable as the "star" will not mix the seasons together. I'll let you know how the cake turns out... will make it tomorrow! Thanks Ftp!

It's funny how of course the memories are all unique to everyone, but when discussing with my siblings, we all have "similar" images that come to mind, amazing head of hair, gigantic hands, eyes that almost seemed electric in contrast with his dark skin, his constant sense of curiosity about everything and his almost constant good-humour in spite of some very hard conditions and always... his lifelong dedication to his family and his music. He couldn't live a day without either of them and on his deathbed was even composing something. Even though we have individual experiences, a person's basic character is always going to come out! (btw... very off topic.... I have a load of gigantic zucchinis, too big to cook, unless I have giants as lunch guests!... I used to have a recipe for a zucchini chocolate cake, would you happen to have one? I'll have to check your sites soon, but thought I'd take advantage right now!) Thanks so much RB!

Even though a short write up but it captures his essence as you know him. These days we hear what a person achieved when remembering them though a focus on who they are as people is very important.

I know it looks mysterious, and it actually is a bit of an imposition on the Coffee House! I just didn't know where else to put a little tribute to my father whose death anniversary is today. He was Mediterranean, but not middle eastern, although I think he would have felt at home in any middle eastern place where there was music. I think he thought in musical notes.

But who is he? Why does he merit a write up? Some of us need a little more information Mary. Could you supply it? All I have are questions, questions, and more questions. Thank you ... I am a westerner and there is much I do not know of modern middle eastern stories. I do not mean to sound rude, but your description of this boy is beautiful. But who is he?
