Semana Santa

American Laura, stay away from Jay!

American Laura, Listen what I say!

- The Guess Who, as interpreted by Kristen

A quick shout out to you all. It's the holidays now and I slept for 10 hours til 5pm! AY! But i only got two hours the night before and then taught my 8:30 am class. That was crazy. Kristen and I went to the local for a few beers, but all these friends of friends are in town for Semana Santa and it got crazy.

So now i am just cleaning and catching up on laundry and all that crap. I didn't go down South to Cadiz. I was beat and the weather was bad. Stuart actually came home early today.

And last night was another 5 AM 'er as everyone has thurs and fri off.

On Wed night (Miercoles) we usually got to this bar; JJ's, for Intercambio night- a language exchange. Last week I met this babe, Patricia, from Buenos Aires. She's a doctor and about my age. Great personality, laid back and the greatest curves.

I saw her again last night. We chatted for about 2 hours last. She's going thru a divorce too. Tis the season!!!! So we'll see what happens with that craic.

Last week, Stuart was like, "Man, she definately seems ineterested in you."

"Really?" I hadn't noticed. I'm always the last to know.

I have also heard that Darth is having the baby next Wed. She hasn't told me yet but I have the house bugged. Thank you Patriot Act!!!

This moves up the time line two weeks, at least, increasing the odds she is not mine! Woo hoo!

Flashback to mid-March, a smoky little bar in the bowels of Madrid:

JAY "But it would be nice to have a little girl"

JANET " Yeah. With someone else."

Wise and tiny, Janet is. I guess she's my Yoda.
