Happy Birthday Carlos, Javi and Paula!!!

Feliz Cumpleanos Cabrones!

My three favorite native Spanish speakers are all growing up this month!!! I love you and miss you guys with all my heart. Carlos, sorry mate, I couldn't find a picture with all of you guys in it. Actually, the truth is that you are only a semi-good friend and therefore I didn't think a pic of you was necessary... Come on, come on!!!!! You know you are my number 1 Colombian bastard!

Besos y abrazos

The Bear Necessities

A few weeks ago I had the chance to catch up with one of my freshman-year roommates, Kayla "Bear" Krupnick. We had a few drinks at Apple on Waverly in the city.

Bear has been a great friend of mine for years and is one of the few Vassar people who I still remain close to. In fact, this June she married another friend of mine, James, back at our alma mater. It was yet another important event in a friend's life that I missed because of my time spent Down Under. Nevertheless, we compacted a year's worth of stories and experiences into a 3 hour time slot with no problem.

Bear, I got you the ice-cream maker you asked for, you saucy minx! Hope you and James enjoy! Love, Rox
