Happily, Another Near Miss

First Fay, now Ike. Never before have I had the opportunity, or need, to learn so much about hurricanes. Interesting stuff. Especially when they stay off-shore. Even though I've never experienced one overhead, I'm pretty certain that the farther away they stay, the better off I am.

I'm sure Miami is lots of fun in February. I remember that spending Spring Break in the Keys was most certainly a good time. But the gray sky and strong wet winds brought in from the "dirty side" of Ike just aren't doing it for me this time. If nothing else, my hair has seen much better days.

Bob returned to Bolivia last weekend. He's very happy to be back in La Paz. Hopefully I can join him soon.

Hi Jessie, just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and hope you are safely watching Ike's goings on from a comfy warm bed. I have a fun cousin (Male, gay, interior designer - perfect S. Beach companion) who lives in South Beach - if you feel like getting out let me know I'll give him a call. xx - L

Jessie - Just read about the diplomatic sparring between DC and the Venezuelan and Bolivian govts. Did I understand correctly that Bob is back in La Paz? How is the drama at the embassy affecting his life down there? And how is it affecting yours? Bob

Yes, Bob is back in La Paz. He's doing well. The embassy is closed at times due to demonstrations but otherwise, work for him continues pretty much the same. Luckily, most of the drama is far far outside of La Paz (for now anyway). Thank goodness for VOIP so I can talk to him almost every day.
