Pray for Poe Poe

Well, I am over my unsightly illness, I think. At least I have energy again and an appetite. That's something. But now, we must turn to important news- Our cat is sick. Ancho wrote me a worried email two days ago when she started acting odd and he could not get her to come into the house. Then she went missing for two days. Ancho was very worried. I had hope that she might come back. Ancho emailed me last night that he finally got her into the house last night and is taking her to the vet today. He said her nose was totally clogged up with gunk. She sounds very sick. Please send her your best thoughts. She is our beloved Kitty and I miss her so, I would hate for something bad to happen to her while I am away. Also send thoughts to Ancho who is dealing with all of this sans girlfriend.

Today I have two interviews- one with a man who works at the little store in our community and another with a man who works at a prison in San Jose but lives here. He works one week and then is off the next. He lives in a dormitory of other guards when he is in the city. Many men and a few women who live in this rural zone do this type of work. It allows them to maintain their homes in the country but earn money in the city. Some of them continue to farm, so it's particularly interesting for my research.

Tomorrow, I am going to ride a horse in a parade for the blessing of the animals in a neighboring community. Let's hope that I don't fall off or freak out in the middle of the parade. I am going to try to get someone to snap my photo... maybe I can get it on here sometime this weekend.

As a brief aside, Ancho and I are wondering who lied to Randolph Morris about being ready for the NBA?

Kiss kiss,
Lefty
