Mexico: one of the youth playing with a Mexican kid. We had a "club de ninos" for half of the group. It was a good time. The kids ran the full length from very sweet and nice to acting downright horrible. Some of them had horrible lives--some had good families. I guess money cannot buy you good kids (no one had much money)--but a wonderful mother and loving dad can.

At work today we have a half-day. The rest is a picnic thing where there will be games and stuff. It is hard to believe that we have a neat day at the company's expense, but we finally have a break from the cubes. It is like recess, but you only get it once a year and it lasts 4 hours.
