Any day now

I expect to see the cruise ships start pulling into port, it's so nice
and warm here. There have been lots of tour buses about the city,
mostly from Brazil and Argentina, which I find amusing. They come from
the big countries to look at the little country, staring out the windows
thinking "Hey, they look just like us!"

It Happened Again

I went to the mall yesterday and wouldn't you know it they have their
Christmas decorations out, Christmas creep as I like to call it. Well
last year they put on a totally neutral and confusing display, they did
it again this year. This years theme? Polar bears and girls in fairy
costumes with wings. Last year it was some mystery magical woman whom I
wasn't sure what all she was supposed to be connecting with.

No Papa Noel (Santa Claus), no baby Jesus and nativity scene, just Polar
bears. They do have Christmas trees but even them are void of any
Christmasy theme.
Just plain weird!

A new era begins

I opened up my hometown newspaper, online that is, to see the election
results. I woke up around 1:00am (I am 3 hours ahead of EST) to see
what the results were and I think even at that hour back home it was
obvious.

All I can say is I hope our new President has wise advisor's and will
lead our country out of this economic mess.

Congrats Dr. Angela - New Baby!!!

Congrats to my sister Dr. Angela and her husband Dr. Chris, proud
parents of a new baby boy, Luca Brial. You know what, I think I need to
make sure if it's a boy or not. But hey, good news!
