The Blessing

When I was finishing the three-mile race in Seattle, a man came up to me and said very imperiously, "I want your blessings. I am going to Pakistan." Then he told me the name of the place. It is in West Pakistan, near the Chinese border. Since he will be leaving in a few weeks, he wanted my blessing.
