The above is from when Little Miss Sunshine’s grandfather talks with her about being afraid she’ll make a fool of herself in the Little Miss Sunshine contest.
So what about those fears? And what better place to talk about how our fears mold our lives….what better place than overlooking the Zocalo in Mexico City in the company of hundreds of federal officers who are shorter than I am, but their guns aren’t.
Fifty bodies pulled out of a mine a hundred miles south. 17 killed in shootout in tourist spot near La Cuidad. Time to reach for that special cape. Report to follow.

About Complaining: The husband of the couple coming in for marriage counseling says: “My mother-in-law is the most negative person I’ve ever met.”
I ask: “How so?”
He says: “If you gave her a suitcase filled with a million dollars, her response would be, “Great! Now what in the hell am I going to do with this?”

I must be have some real positives to bring to a relationship. I know this, because I have some real stinker elements, particularly how I deal with anxiety, and, yet, the guy still wants to jump on that plane for Baja next week. Maybe because, as you will see in the conclusion to Complaining in Oklahoma…the guy has done some real work toward being a person whose responses are not determined by others. And I am very persuasive when I’m sure the sky is falling.
Dallas today, Baja…very soon.
