Celebrating Another Quitter ;)

Mude Sartawi, take a bow! After being banished to to the balcony to smoke after his lovely wife quit herself, Mude has done the deal and quit as well. Writer of the Amman Softball League Blog, Ruler of the League, and volunteer in countless charitable organizations, Mude has proven his energy comes from within.

I hear Mude may join the print publishing world, too. Here’s a guy who edits stuff in his sleep for fun (even MY grammar-deficient writing), and when bored, makes corrections on Google Earth. He is hilarious, snarky, brilliant yet grounded. Think Ramblin’ Hal/Hareega/Nas combined, and on…on…on…well, on something but NOT! I will be the first on his Facebook Fan Club when his first article comes out. Second, I guess, after Brooke. No, maybe 4th, after Schwa and ZIGGY*. Top ten, fer sure.

Good on ya, Mude. May the WHOLE league follow your good example in putting down the death stick. The whole blogging community, too ;)

*Maher, thanks for remembering the name of that darling kitty-cat. :)

    Heh-heh, at least the league can’t blame the Evangelicals for taking away all their fun! Mude runs a tight ship…he may even ban BEER next!

    Did you win? Play well? Mude asked Skeeter to come out and play today, but he had stuff going on.

  8. Maher Says:

    Uh-oh…Now it’s in writing and permanently on the interwebs. It’s been really tough, but Brooke is really helping me by being extra patient and amazingly supportive. (She quit smoking in November 2004 and hasn’t looked back.)

    Thanks for the kind words and encouragement! You’re good people.

  11. kinziblogs Says:

    Quing, I will pray for you to do so.

    Mude, heh-heh, ‘takes one to know one’!!! Yea, I have to admit I was beign a little sneaky by affirming your decision to the WORLD. Celebrate every single day smoke-free, it isn’t at all easy, and you really have done a great thing in attempting to do so. Don’t beat yourself on teh days you slip, God’s mercies are new every morning. May He empower you to steer clear. That Brooke, she’s amazing: it’s almost not right someone can be that beautiful, smart, talented, strong, sweet and funny all in ONE lady. Together, you two are a wall!
