Muchacho Polaco

Midtown finally began meeting again in person. This is Yun’s second time since we’ve moved here. I am no fan of the masks, but will comply. I am eagerly anticipating the day we can all burn those things.

Phil and Shelly had us over for dinner last Monday. Phil made a pretty spectacular cabbage dish which inspired me to put our cabbage to use yesterday. I love cabbage. I found a recipe for Polish cabbage rolls (glampki) over the weekend. If it didn’t take hours to make, I’d have done it already. Perhaps there will be time later this week.

We played some games, the name of which I cannot recall. I do remember coming in second place, which is obviously very impressive.

Yun is recovering well. She’s been at her new job for over a week now. This is a welcome alternative of the prior few months.

The monsoons have been late this year. Not only late, but sparse. Still, what little we have had has made the front bushes blossom.

Charles and Julie had us over for no-carb (except the wine) dinner last Friday. Charles was the inspiration behind me getting a sous vide. I love it so much and he makes absolutely perfect medium-rare steaks with it.

Yun is currently in Nogales visiting family as Abe, Martha, and the girls drove up from Guaymas.

After my exam last Thursday, we had a chance to stop by and see Jaime and Letty. These are Yun’s cousins that live in Phoenix. They are always very kind and gracious.

Took my first license exam last Thursday in Goodyear. Although I studied for months, it was much more difficult than I anticipated. This was mostly due to the resources I used to study, which maybe covered 50% of the content actually tested. I ended up doing really well on the exam, but throughout I wasn’t even sure if I was going to pass.

We are now going on two weeks since we arrived here in GDL for Yun’s emergency procedure. She was released initially the Sunday before last, but that only lasted a night as due to further complications, she had to return to the hospital the next morning where we’ve been ever since. It’s been a long and painful experience for her, but has turned for the better and the hope is that she will be released tomorrow.

I will fly back to HMO tomorrow as I need to return to Tucson for work-related responsibilities. So sadly, we will not have any time together to actually enjoy this city. The doctors want her to remain an additional 6 days to ensure a smooth transition to normalcy.

Here’s yesterday’s tour of our lodging that I sent to M&D:

It looks like we will be apart another week or two once again in the days to come. We are both quite looking forward to the return to our home and friends.

We have a nice place here in Zapopan here in Guadalajara that we’ve rented a couple times in the last month. It’s a great area and it would be nice to return when we’re 100%.

Since I’ve begun working with Chad, old photos have surfaced. Here’s a classic shot of Warren Buffet and me back in the day.
