Oo-SA-LA-TON

I am being told that Josh and Beth had their baby this morning. I doubt that I’ll have time to visit them before I leave (I’m too busy and they’re too tired). So it will have to wait until I get back. A few of my other friends are already married and having babies. This is the first of my closer friends who have had a baby. So it’s kinda cool in a way, and yet signals what I’ve already known all along – that we are all getting older.
Right now I’m watching US tanks roll through Baghdad. Extraordinary. Surreal. Crowds are cheering. Right now they’re trying to tear down a statue of Saddam.
The place in El Salvador is pronounced Oo-SA-LA-TON, as best I can tell. Don’t let me catch you mispronouncing it. I can take the pointing and laughing. Just don’t mispronounce it.
Supposedly there’s a Dominos Pizza there. I am quickly learning how to say “Delivery” in Spanish, but I don’t that will happen. It would be a surprise luxery item.
“Entregue una pizza grande por favor. Gracias”
You will notice that I have posted the El Salvador weather forecast. Pretty much partly cloudy with a high of 93 and a low of 71. For 5 straight days. So no matter what you think the weather it, it is pretty much static.
So its sorta been interesting watch the blogosphere from afar over the drama between Todd, Josh, and Scott. I’m not sure what they are worried about, but from what I understand, its over. Get frustrated at someone; write about it in your blog. Its the American way I guess. Then friends take it out of context and get offended by it. A big brouhaha happens.
Oh yeah, don’t get confused with the Josh & Beth and this Josh. 2 totally different people.
Anyways I need to go shopping and get some things before I leave Friday morning.
