go away
My Tuesdays and Wednesdays are finished in Argentina. I have never had to control this many emotions pumping through me all at the same time. It´s intense. Thursdays coming to a close sometime today. I hate this week so much and continues to crawl by ever so slowly letting me linger in the sadness of leaving my life here and anxiousness to get home! I am trying to find things that will fulfill and complete my stay here... for example last night I decided a big, beefy, suculent, bife de chorizo was in order. I was thinking meat, that was all. However, I guess you can`t just eat a big slab of steak here, one needs garnishes. I suggested mashed potatoes (so plain)- just to fill the void. While waiting for the meat to be prepared we nibbled the pizza I had made for lunch...and steak goes hand in hand with chorizo (excellent sausage) so we had an appetizer choripan...mmmmmmm When it came time for the bife, zucchini, and gingered sweet potatoes, we decided it was in our best interest to take an hour break before diving in once again.
Only 3 full days left here, tear. 3 more days to put up with my lazy, inconsiderate, dirty, loud roomate- who has found a new lo this week of not flushing the toilet. 3 more days to enjoy this country. 3 more days to spend with Negro... and it just figures that this my last weekend here, also comes 4 of his family members. The mom arrived today- I smelled her things before I could even unlock the apt. door. Aunt, Uncle, and cousin arrive on Saturday. Lovely. Should be fun, quite a send off anyway!

Are we going to be able to smell YOU through the door before we see you????????
You have all of Friday and Saturday morning to sleep in, de-scurve yourself and get a good breakfast in for a base before the Ostlie extravaganza!!!!! When is the last time you sang Happy Birthday 17 times, HUH??!!
Are you ready??? Are you ready for AAALLLLLLLLL the same inane questions to be asked over and over again?
How was it? Did you have fun? Are you glad to be back? Where are you going next? Where's Negro? Who is Negro? Why was he crapping into the garbage can?
All these questions repeated over over again and you have to keep that blanking smile on your face because . . . . you got to do it.
Many people grow old and think and wish to themselves, "I should have". You will not, because you did it.
People told you not to. People maybe thought you were taking too large of a risk. People thought you may have been just plain nuts. But you had the vision and the courage to go through with it. God bless you for that!!!
Now it's time to get yer ass home.
Can't wait to see ya, babe. I love you.
Brother Dave
