We weren't happy about this but he's headed home tomorrow after reporting in this afternoon back in Mexico City. So what was the lead story on 60 Minutes? It was about a man who was held prisoner in Cuba for five years. I'm glad we didn't see it before knowing he was on the way home. So what is another plan of his for a vacation trip? North Korea! I wonder if he has inherited any of our DNA?

We will be thinking of you as you celebrate her life next weekend.<br /><br />My favorite sister-in-law fell last week and broke her ankle and cannot drive. She may have to have surgery. Her husband is my brother whose health is failing rapidly with Parkinson's, is falling down frequently and shouldn't drive. They live in a split level home in which only the garage doesn't have stairs for access. Both are in their early 60's and still working. We have had four days of rain & "wintery mix" with icy conditions at night. Bro has always had a good sense of humor and has been fun to be around. I talked to him yesterday and he was so depressed, I hung up and cried. Such a brilliant college teacher/medical researcher trapped in a nightmare body. They do have a daughter close by who with her family is helpful. But she also teaches so her time is limited. <br /><br /><br /><br />PKnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-3578403709592422742015-11-29T17:50:25.319-06:002015-11-29T17:50:25.319-06:00I'm just not getting DOGNAPS (39D).

I asked him how he found my place, since the phone was not listed and there were no signs indicating a drug wholesaler. He said a 'friend' told him. After politely telling him to contact the DEA, which he said was NOT NECESSARY, I told him he had 5 seconds to get out the door as I was calling the sheriff. Never saw him or heard from him again.<br /><br />An just this week, I received a desperation email from a friend of my wife ( how my email address showed up I have no clue because I have never emailed the very WEALTHY widow) which claimed she was in Spain and her ATM and credit cards wouldn't work and that she desperately need $2,000 ASAP.
