First, I get forced into suffering with a Prius for a week. It is bad enough driving the thing, but having people SEE me drive the thing is even more painful. Now my very good buddy sends me an article from the national fishwrap and birdcage liner. It is a great article on the love of math, but there is no way I am about to admit that I liked. You can read it here. (h.t. JonChile)
Day: September 16, 2013
Day 756 of 1000
This is a special time of year for Lorena’s family and friends in Mexico. El Grito de la Independencia is celebrated around midnight, the night of September 15th. September 16th, Mexican Independence Day is a holiday throughout the country. We love it for several reasons. Lorena’s best friend from the time after we were just married is a Puerto Rican girl named Vanesa. Her birthday is today. We always fondly remember her birthday and it reminds us of the great experience we had at that time and place.
Add to that the annual church convention in Lorena’s home town that occurs right around this time and we get quite nostalgic. All of the friends and family with whom Lorena grew up are together for a great time of communion and worship. I can think of no place I would rather be at this time of year. We love Mexico in general and Monterrey in particular. We plan to be there this time next year.
