And "The Most Synchronized Musicians" Award goes to...

MAY 24, 2007 -- Dave and Karen generously treated me to dinner this evening. They're critical care nurses in the Navy. These Floridians really know how to enjoy themselves in any environment. I really admire the way they embrace life and laugh - A LOT - together. We dined at the rooftop restaurant of our hotel (www.hotelclarksshiraz.com). After a long day on the bus and at the Taj, we were pretty hungry and beat. I ordered a really good chicken dish in a spicy tomato yogurt sauce and some garlic naan. The ambiance was elegant -- candlelight, white tablecloths, silver service pieces and, perhaps the highlight: live music. I think it was a sitar player and some kind of percussionist. Anyway, they were great -- so great, in fact, that each time the power went out (a frequent occurrence) and then came back on, the musicians would stop (FREEZE FRAME!) and start (UNFREEZE!) in perfect unison. You don't see that every day now, do ya?
