I get to go AGAIN!

Brazil......I get to go again.   It wasn't really my turn actually, it just fell into place that way.  Others from the Mission Aid board couldn't do the trip so my hand shot up real fast. I may have put out my glenohumeral joint (thanks Wikipedia!) at the meeting, hope no one noticed.

That was several months ago and now here we are 2 weeks away and I'm stoked.  Two years ago some friends asked me to write a small blog during my trip (http://mabbrazil.blogspot.com.br/). I was reluctant, because frankly I can't write, but just for fun I did, and the results floored me.  I expected a few followers but didn't see the 5000+ reads coming. Not exactly viral, but for a hick like myself I thought it was kinda cool, and it turned into a coffee table book for a bunch of raving fans (my dime....)

So, I'm going to do it again, but first the disclaimer.  Don't expect a literary masterpiece. If that's what you are looking for then go and read Tolstoy, Dickens, or Homer (not Simpson).  My language skills bite, and I use words like "cuz", "gunna", and "yur".  If you text a lot yur gunna understand. If you don't, well, try follow along and have a chuckle. I write first and foremost for myself, and along the way have the tendency to over emphasize and exaggerate. It's what I do cuz I can, and its my blog. So bear with me and you might enjoy the journey.

If this is your first read then welcome new friend! If you've been here before, then welcome back old friend.
