TGIF!

Hola todos, how's it going? I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday. This guy is very excited abbout two great college football matchups in Notre Dame vs . Michigan and Iowa State vs. Iowa tomorrow.

Olivia and I are headed out for a bite to eat w/ some friends from school, but I thought I'd give a quick update on the job situation. Starting next week I'll have 5 different kids I'm tutoring Monday thru Thursday from 2:30 to as late as 7:30. So my afternoons are getting booked up, and I'm still looking for something in the a.m.'s to keep me busy.

I've also found a workout partner with Olivia's boss, assistant principal Robert Walton, and week 1 is officially over with the M-W-F routine. I'm looking forward to getting back in in shape for my mom's wedding come October 10th. That's right, Donna lola will be tying the knot in less than a month, so it's exciting times in Omaha!

Not too much else on this end, looking forward to some ultimate frisbee tomorrow morning and hopefully watching the ND vs. Michigan game. Olivia and I are debating on the Basilica de Guadalupe for Sunday. Adios por ahora!

  1. Joshie/Olivia, This is your Tio Roberto in El Paso del Norte. I hope you get to read this before you go to the Basilica, be it on Sunday or any other day.

    MAKE SURE YOU GO THE "THE CHAPEL OF THE APPARITIONS" ON TEPEYAC HILL, ABOVE THE BASILICA. In Spanish they call it "El Cerro de Tepeyac". That it where the Virgen de Guadalupe actually appeared several times to San Juan Diego. I missed it in '91, made sure I visited it in '94 and '99. I would be curious to know how it feels for you all to be in there.

    San Juan Diego's Tilma with the image of the Virgen is in the New Basilica. There is a choir pit in the floor of the Basilica, in which I had the opportunity to sing with a 70-voice choir in '99.

    But enough of sounding like your pedantic Uncle the Perfesser. I just hope you get this message before you go to the Basilica.

    Love to you both,

    Your Tio Roberto Gonzalez y Cortez

  2. P.S.---You know, if I ever got the chance to come see you in Mexico City, there's only two main places to which I'd really like you to take me: (1) "El Cerro de Tepeyac"/The Basilica, and (2) The Museum of Anthropology.
    That's all. . .
