Friday night in the city and a few beers at 119 were consumed. My bike was locked in front and waiting for me like a dog waiting outside a bodega for its owner. Inside We were sorta celebrating Zucks BIRFday, who has finally reached the Christ age. I had other plans for the evening and was waiting for Jenene so we can head off to Union square, the rally point for this months critical mass. So far all others that said they would, wussed out, except those who were actually sick.
Today Jess (former Ho) Cohen, IMed me and finished it with "dude, your
governor is GAY. that's fucking brilliant" I actually did a spit take
and laughed so hard water shot out my nose (thank god it was water and not
soda, that shit hurts).
Buenas.
Just came back from the Darien (rugged, forested province adjacent to Colombia) sans my compa?ero Sasha. He?s in the hospital. Some stomach virus or kidney stones. I was pretty lucky. Seems our adventure was so-so. We helped a PCV apply cement to his new latrine, we hiked a couple of km along the mountains surveying distance & elevation for possible aqueduct, and played pool & drank Atlas cerveza. After that was over we went back to good old Santa Rita for some home cooked meals. Sasha was back from the hospital-seems like it was food poisoning, since he didnt wash his star fruits. We had a few birthdays to celebrate and we went to Leonardos for pizza drinks and dancing-woohoo. The following day there was another birthday and more food,cake, and dancing. Things are just getting better and better.
Haven\'t seen any scorpions, bats, tarantulas, or snakes yet but i?ll keep everyone posted. Someone else has to use the computer now so I hope to talk to you soon. I hope everyone is well. I have phone cards, so I plan on making a few calls. The letter writing campaign will begin once I am assigned to my post.
Lots of lovin?
Do you peeps remember how at the end of every G.I. Joe Cartoon there would be this thing called "And Knowing Is Half The Battle"? It would always be an informative message from a member (sometimes two) of G.I. Joe all the while stopping stupid kids from hurting themselves.
