Comments in response to Mattís upcoming trip to Nicaragua.

ìI was telling Seah about Matt’s plans.
She said it was as ill conceived a plan as when her friend Karen Pence
– the most white bread girl on earth – went to Africa and took a
decade to recover.

And I said – yeah, I should write his aunt Susan and ask if she is
really going to let this happen. Instead I am writing you – in case
Susan already is on the verge of hysteria about it.
Tear up the ticket. Lose the bucks.
Send Matt here and we’ll treat him badly but with hospitals close by.î

ìDiane, did you feel like you couldnít say no?î

ìYou know, at your age itís too late to have another.î

ìHeís going where?? With a girl his age??î

ìToo bad you will never see him again.î

I was lying in bed the other night with these comments floating in my head when I sat up and thought, I wouldnít go to Nicaragua. What were we thinking? But then I wandered down in my pajamas and read Edís offering.

Great plan. Sounds like a mini-peace corps gig.
Good for Matt & Hillary, good for Nicaragua.

Buena suerte!

So there, all you nay sayers, it is a good plan, even if we donít see him again.
