done deal

I have all my travel and lodging set for the Costa Rican Grand Return. I'll be seeing a few different parts of the country this time. I requested the same driver that I had before, because I really liked him, but I'll take what I can get, as long as the driver picks me up on time and takes me where I want to go.

My mama asked me last Sunday about me letting Gerio use the van to take his family out for dinner on the first trip. "Weren't you afraid that he might steal the car?" she asked. I told her, heck, no! That thought never even crossed my mind. By then, I thought of Gerio as a friend and I was happy to do him a favor.

"Yeah, and you trusted Jennifer, too," mama said. "Look where THAT got you." Maybe she has a point, but I'll still take my chances in the same situation. I tend to trust people who have never given me a reason to distrust them. Yeah, I'm that mushy asshole who wants to buy the whole world a Coke. Perfect harmony and all that shit. (except for Michael Moore. I despise him, and he'll NEVER get a Coke from ME.)

I've paid for that attitude, but I won't change. I like myself that way.

(UPDATE: I asked for a coach seat, but I'm Flying First Class for the same price!!! I've never done that before.)
