Hello From Home
Good morning! It's been a really interesting weekend and I'm still not back from it. I was supposed to go to work on Tuesday, but that didn't happen. It's now Wednesday and I'm still not back. Well, the reason for this is because I've been sick for the past two days. I caught a cold and I haven't been able to shake it as quickly as I thought I could. I got up on Tuesday morning with every intention to go to work and my wife looked at me and said, "Are you crazy, Bess? Look at you! You're sick man!" **smile**So, I got back into bed. I did the same thing this morning and she just looked at me and gave an emphatic "NO!" So, I got back into bed, but I got right back up after she closed our front door. Anyway, I just wanted to peek in to say hello. I miss my friends here. I hope that everyone is having a wonderful week! The weather is scorching here in this swamp called DC. It's supposed to mellow out by the weekend. Well, peace to you all and I'll be back soon. :)
Side note:
I'm sitting here typing while glancing at the TV. The Today Show (is that the right show?) is saying goodbye to Katie. I gotta get outa here!

Your wife is wise - you'll be much more productive when you are healthy.
Next you can watch the VIEW and tell us how it is with Rosie. ;)
The View!! NO!!! :)
Thanks! She is a wise woman. She's also very intimidating when she get into her nuturing role. :)

Yes, she calls me by my last name when I'm doing something wrong or when I'm just in trouble. However, in her South African culture we are not supposed to call each other by our first names. She usually just calls me 'Bess' or by my middle name. I usually just call her ratu (love) or some other pet name. If I'm looking for her in a crowd I simply say her name. Phew! I hope that wasn't too much?
lol@wifey putting the smack down. *nodding head* yup, she's a gem!
Aside: It is the same in Kenya. Most couples do not know how to call each other - a problem soon solved by the arrival of the first child and then they become "Mama Jane" or "Baba Jane" (and that is to everyone, including their parents)
I give your wife HUGE props for making you stay home and get better! Also, your co-workers I am sure thank her for not letting you spread it to them all. :) So,take care of Stephen, and get better! We have missed you as well! :(
Haa haa! Yes, she's a gem alright! :)Thanks for your well wishes.

Yes, many of her family and extended family call me Ntate Bess. The word 'ntate' means mister. My family gets a kick out of that. Thank you for your well wishes.

I think that we are about to get your lower temps this coming weekend. I'm am really looking forward. :)
By the way, I am glad to hear that you learn something by reading my blog. That is my goal. Thank you so much for your well wishes. Take care.
That's "Baba" to you. :)
Hope you bounce back soon!!
Your culture is so wonderful, it distinctively separates boys from men :)
So true!
