Great News... McDonalds is here.

I went to bed at 1:30AM after checking my email for a sign that Sabrina had made it safely to Ecuador. I didn't expect to hear, but I hoped to hear. I know I have to let go, but this is a little like being really hot, and jumping in a cold pool. Shock is what I would call it.

I crawled into bed, and told Kimberly I was letting go, and not having any expectations. Literally 2 minutes later Sabrina called. She was giggling, and I could hear Nia in the background laughing with her.

Sabrina said "There is a McDonalds on the corner." I said "So you live in a city" and Sabrina said "Yes."

I got off the phone because I have no idea what it costs to call the US from Ecuador, but I was grateful to Sabrina's host family for the call and didn't want to use 1 extra minute.

So right now I imagine my little girl eating a Sausage, Egg and Cheese McGriddle in a city in Ecuador, and planning a trip to the mall.

I know the world is getting smaller. On behalf of all overweight Americans, I aopologize to the fine people of Ecuador for McDonalds. As for me, I will take Cafe con Leche, Huevos, Papas y Chorizo.... You can keep the egg McMuffin.

As for us: We went to Shelly's house last night with the JV. C &P fed the horse, played in the pool, and ate Subway for dinner... then left over pizza for after dinner. I watched the Mets get a 5-0 lead over the Pittsburgh Pirates, and eventually lose 10-7. I cursed at the TV a little, and called it a night.

Before I went to bed, I had a slice of Sabrina's going away cake.
