Look Who's Coming Out of the Closet!!

C'mon now, we didn't mean it that way. We know what you are thinking Uncle Steve. Sure he likes the Wiggles, but he just has fun opening and closing the closet doors, and hiding in there. I mean, it's a walk in. That means WALK IN. You have to come out at some point.

Anyway, Daddy's back in Guatemala and glad to be here! Mostly because I miss Gallo... I mean Max and my beautiful wife of course. Who knew how much a kid would grow in two months. While I was gone Jen took him to get his Guatemalan driver's license. He passed on the first try. He can't drive cars yet, but mopeds and motorcycles are fine here. He now runs around quite a bit, and can make a day of getting on and off of chairs. I do the same, just in bars. He really is becoming fun and funny at this age. I'm very happy that I can visit as much as I do. He's definitely wearing an old man like me out, so I only have something more to look forward to as I reach retirement... in a few years. I have to find a way to avoid the slide here. He likes to go down together, but the slide here isn't like others. It burns and is coated with red lead paint. Nothing like finishing up with a red butt for two reasons. Gotta keep him on the swings.

This morning I got up to get him his early morning juice sippy cup. Did you know the top needs to be screwed on?? It felt solid when I pushed the lid down on the cup. I was shocked when it became an orange juice bomb upon first dropping by Max. I, of course, told Jen that he has somehow figured out how to unscrew these so she should keep an eye on him.

Strange oddity of the past few days, beside me having another Fud pizza... We went to Pollo Campero for chicken dinner the other night. We ordered the family meal, but I have to say, I was intrigued by the menu item that looked to be a sub sandwich that was filled with "disco meat". Ummmmmm.... what exactly could that be? There were no details. While I wasn't daring enough to try, I'm sure my Dad would have eaten it if he had been here. I will try to find out what this actually is, but would love to hear your ideas. Perhaps Deney Terrio on a gyros spit?

Finally, we were told our file would be submitted to the PGN today. We know that unless there is confirmation, what you are told may not have happened. Let's hope. We need some progress!!!

Love to all,

Mark, Jen, and El Rey Max
