This mirrored cone hangs in the dome of the Reichstag Building. Its chief purposes are to collect rainwater and to look awesome.
Next week: what the mirror cone has in common with a fast food sandwich.

Celebrations
I earned my Eagle Scout last July. However, due to the fact that I was in Europe at the time, and then heading almost immediately to college in Utah, the Court of Honor was postponed until December. My super-talented photographer sister got a few shots of N. and I hanging out before the ceremony:
Good times, good times.
Good times, good times.

Conversation Piece
It's our last night in Prague, N.'s going to fly back to Columbus in the morning, and we're walking along the riverside and talking about alarm clocks.
That's right. Alarm clocks.
The alarm clocks we have. The alarm clocks we want to have. Features of alarm clocks that we think are interesting or useful, like having multiple alarm settings, or sounding like the ocean.
It occurs to me that this is the sort of thing only good friends talk about. If you talk about alarm clocks the first time you meet someone, that's strange. But talking about alarm clocks is perfectly natural for us, because we talk about pretty much everything.
And who's to say that alarm clock are less important in our lives than politics?

My Apologies
Sorry I haven't posted in a while.
I've been thinking about the future of this blog, specifically about whether I should start integrating updates on current events in my life with reminiscences from the past, or post them somewhere else. While these considerations are meant to give you more regular word from me, they've temporarily stopped me cold.
This week I'll restart by regular update schedule (two posts a week, up by Tuesday and Saturday) while also trying to figure this out. I do have another blog, which you may have noticed, at mattathiasingh.blogspot.com, which may become the place for the present me. We'll see in coming weeks whether I decide to use that on a regular basis and how that will impact my update schedule here.
Whatever happens, I'll still be telling stories (and sharing photos) from this summer. I still have a lot to say.
