Dear beloved fans,
I have been criticized about my work, and I respond to that: it looks like you're SOL. I write the way I want, and you can't do anything about it. You shall enjoy my work or don't read this. I don't care which one.
Now, back to brazil. Today we didn't do much because it was raining cat and dogs Brazilian style. Barely got to walk around when it was not raining. We did however get into a restaurant down the street from our room that has been packed the entire time we've been here. We sat and had some drinks and some fries. We were going to walk to Copacabana, but it was still pouring, so we stayed here and watched some more futbol. The men went out to wait in a line for dinner, and we joined them as they got to the front of the line. We ate at a very well known restaurant, known for its meat that you get to cook yourself. It might have been the best steak I've ever had. I am right know chilling in my bed, doing absolutely nothing besides talking to all of you.
With Great Love,
Ben
We are so happy to hear your news and see the pictures that you are posting on Whats App. Sounds like you are having the best time and that you will have lots more stories to tell us when you get home. By the way that steak sounds delicious! Lucky you. I am very busy at camp with the little ones, but luckily not too much crying going on. We miss you both but are happy for you that you are having so much fun.

I, Luis al Amarelar da Cagada, feel the need to respond to your comments regarding how you write. I rarely, if ever, consider my audience, although I should be aware that the ever classy Granny has access to this blog. Be that as it may, I shall proceed more or less accordingly.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to steak, I am one of the world's great authorities. Over the years my wives have prepared meat in many different ways . . . some even cooked it. The best, however, is my current darling, Sophia La gran pedo, who has absolutely no point of reference. She wouldn't know a good piece of meat if it smacked her upside the head. Much applauded for her vocal skills, Sophia is adrift in the uncharted territory of a kitchen. I better stop there or I'll never get another meal.
Anyway, the best steak I ever had was served at the world renown Slipshod Sammy's Emporium of Half Baked Gristle. Although the specialty of the house was Scrappy Scrod, Sammy once prepared an amazing steak dinner for our Libyan national team. Immediately following our less than glorious appearance in the 1933 World Cup, we celebrated at Sammy's.
Everyone enjoyed the steak until Morris Menschavik, a noted striker, noticed that the meat reminded him of our former goalie, who had missed the last game.

There was no World Cup in 1933, but your post is otherwise accurate.
DeleteAh! I don't know whether to comment on your writing (which is absolutely awesome) or Grandpa's (er...Luis') writing!!!
ReplyDeleteOk enough said....about that...except WHO IN THE WORLD IS CRITICIZING MY GRANDSON'S STELLAR WORK?????????Sorry to hear about all the Brazilian rain..... We've had some good Chicago style rain in the past several days.....actually much of it has been at night. Seeing the photos of you at some of the Rio sights I know that the sun has reared it's beautiful rays, Brazil is known for it's beef..... I guess that's why I didn't find the food THAT appealing. I love that you try everything. I'm anxious to hear about all the great games you are attending. What an experience that you are having!!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy enjoy!! Bar Mitzvah Boy!!!!!
With Grand Love,
Grandma JOANIE
