I will write more about her exceptional family as time permits. They currently live in a war zone in Monterrey, Mexico. The litany of horrors with which they have had to deal include a home invasion, armed robbery, an assassination on the street in front of their house, multiple assaults, a kidnapping of an uncle of our sister-in-law, several attempted kidnappings of friends, and the list goes on. They live just a couple of miles from the casino where 83 people were killed in a fire-bombing just a couple of months ago. We do not get to see them too often these days because it dangerous for us to go to Mexico and it is difficult for them to visit us here. Still, Lorena talks to her father and mother every day on Skype.
Lorena’s grew up in a middle class Mexican family that put three boys through great engineering schools. The only one who did not become an engineer, started his own business that is booming, even in a war zone. They love Mexico and want to stay there. They love America, too, but it makes them sad that so many of their fellow citizens go there illegally, willing to live as criminals in a foreign country rather than immigrate legally or stay home and make Mexico a better place.
Note: My buddy Giles who writes this blog with me and our friend Bryan stood up for me at the wedding in Mexico. They are part of the family, too.

Thanks Lyle. We are thankful you found your way over here. I plan to write quite a bit more on tech stuff that I see over on R.W. Dubs Reviews. I noticed where you posted this reply via your iPad. Very cool!
