    ''If you want to be a true professional, you will do something outside yourself. Something to repair tears in your community. Something to make life a little better for people, less fortunate than you. That's what I think. A meaningful life is not living for one's self, but for one's community.'' - Ruth Bader Ginsburg

    My community for the past 17 months has been Bali. Have been helping out some friends by buying them some food stuff

    Number of packets noodles, tea, biscuits, fruit. Other day girlfriend Inul asked if I would change what I buy

    Seems they would get more from rice than from noodles. So on Monday gave them 5kg rice, 2 packets sugar and 10 eggs

    Didn't feel the same

    How thoughtful! The food shortages over the past year have been something.

    I've known the friends for more than 10 years since I have been coming to Bali

    Inul not as long but when I became stranded here she began to take care of me filling out the mountain of paperwork to have my 30 day tourist visa extended and over that another mountain of paperwork to have me vaccinated

    "I'm a pool reader"

    A what?

    "A pool reader"

    What's a pool reader?

    "It's like a tea leaf reader in a cup. But a lot bigger. You know all those leaves which blow into your pool? I come along, stand on your roof and read them for you"
