We had dinner with St. Jeremy and Carole and Rolf tonight. Jeremy let us use hie phone to call our daughter Amy. Amy in turn put us on a conference call with our oldest son John. I got to talk to him just briefly because the call kept dropping. I got to talk with him, to hear his voice!
BM - Before Maria - Amy and the whole family planned to come to PR next week for a little vacation. Between Irma and Maria, that wasn't possible. After Maria, Amy insisted she was coming anyway to help and to bring "stuff."
One of the reasons I really wanted to talk to her was to convince her not to come. With FedEx and the Post Office now working again, there was no reason for her to come to bring "stuff." Fortunately, I didn't have to convince her. She'd decided on her own not to come.
When Elaine and I talked about Amy's coming I realized there were three reasons I wanted her to come: 1) to see her; 2) she is a project manager and we could use her skills to help us (although she'd lose her shit when she saw how things were being managed here; )3 so she could see how things really are here, so her long-distance project management would from the ground and not the nightly news and the twit's tweets.
We don't see much news here but pretty much everything we hear about what is being reported in the States is wrong.
