Couldn't Stay Away....

Hi Folks!

Been a while since I've posted here. Had a little argument on a topic unrelated to Z/Ix with Don Roberto a number of months back which didn't sit well with me, but maybe if we avoid that particular topic things will be a little better.

Anyway, here's a shocker...I'm booked again for a couple of weeks in February. Got my pesos, got my new flip flops, and packing a smaller dictionary.

Must say that among all the horrible things going on in the world there was one special thing that pleased me mightily this past week and that's the thaw in relations between the US and Cuba. Interesting that both Canada and Pope Francis played important roles in this change. We visited Cuba in 1991 and it's amazing how the entire political culture has been based upon preparation for imminent open hostility with America. Also the people there have not been free. There's one heck of a lot of human potential there. I hope that it pans out well.
