It has EVERYTHING!!

"I don´t want to sway your opinion or anything, but Columbus has EVERYTHING...including your awesome sister that can totally take you out!"

Those were the words that I uttered to my baby bro when he was trying to decide between attending the University of Iowa or Ohio State, my Alma Mater. Of course, he made the right decision and chose Ohio State!

When he arrived, I said, "Ok. I need to take you out to celebrate! Where do you want to go?" He said, "Bennigans!! It´s my favorite!"

I said, "Um...we don´t have a Bennigan´s."

He said, "WHAT?? I thought `Columbus has EVERYTHING`!"

I said, "Well...almost!! I´ve always been able to find what I wanted!"

Of course, I have NEVER heard the end of that, and probably never will for the rest of my life! So, imagine my surprise when today, as I was leaving our office in San Salvador, I saw a huge banner that read, "Coming soon...Bennigan´s!" Oh my goodness! My baby bro´s favorite restaurant. And you can´t go in Columbus, but you´ll be able to visit it in a third world country. Man. That´s some funny stuff...come visit, Pokey! El Salvador has eeevvvveerything!!! :)

And...I just went to this big event...an HIV awareness event for all of Central America and parts of South America that was held in the capitol. One of the guys from my community was acting in a theatre production for it. And, when I got there, he was all excited and said, "Ashley Judd was JUST here! She gave me a kiss on the cheek! She´s my good friend!" I guess I missed her by about 10 minutes. But everything there was SO excited that she stopped by and they all had her sign stuff...Mauricio, the guy from my community, told me she was signing a lot of condoms since they were giving them out for free. I was like, "That´s not cool! No one is going to want to open those!" Doesn´t that kind of defeat the purpose??

Anyway, two things from today that just made me laugh a little!! :)

Miss ya!
