How did you manage to miss Texas in all of this?

I was thinking the same thing about Michigan!?!!!

And I was thinking the same about LosAngeles.

If ever here, send a message.

It's good to hear from you Mario! I think about you often.

If you're not happy doing what you want to do, then by all means quit doing it! I have to go pick up my brother from the terminal right away, but I'll leave you some lyrics that might give you a bit of strenght. I'll touch on the rest of your post when I get a bit of time...

Live For me - Blue Oyster Cult

It was a wet night
And the other guy
Was lubricated with a pint of Jack
His truck hit
Jimmy's chevy
With a sound like a thunder crack

I was working late but I felt it happen
I knew that my brother was laid low
I waited for the call
And then the damn call came
And I knew what I knew and didn't want to know

Live for me
Live for me
Live twice as big
Love twice as long
Work twice as hard
Play all of your cards
Live for me
Live for me
Burn twice as bright
Three times as long
But brother, don't do no one wrong

Beth thought he would make it through the winter
I never really thought so myself
The dark spirit was always hoverin' nearer
And I knew in my heart there was just no help

When he called me to the bed
Took my hand to say goodbye
He said he wouldn't blame nobody
Said he wouldn't ask the Lord why

And when he passed on
A March wind blew
Sun drew away a veil of cloud
We buried him smiling
We buried him deep
And I could hear him sayin' right out loud

Live for me
Live for me
Live twice as big
Love twice as long
Work twice as hard
Play all of your cards
Live for me
Live for me
Burn twice as bright
Three times as long
But brother, don't do no one wrong
Brother, don't do no one wrong

Nos, I've never heard that song before, but those lyrics are powerful. Thanks for posting that.

Dear Family:

How is everyone? I hope all of you are well and happy and healthy feeling great. Thank you again for the wonderful messages, phone calls, cards, letters and amazing display of friendship, family and support. I love you guys more than you will know and send all of you a huge hug (((()))).

Well, Mexico City would have been fun until the President made his speech. Then, traffic was unbearable, protests everywhere, the US embassy was crowded and guarded with triple security, vehicles in front blocking access and then armed guards in two layers in front of the compound. The GTECH office is located on Avenida Constituyentes 635 and the other offices in the city are over in Santa Fe near the all of the foreign mission's homes and ambassadors homes.

So, a couple of times a week we had to drive over to the other data centers to work and we could see the militant posture the authorities were taking with protestors of the Fox government. I felt so tired and just wanted to go home. I have literally had it with service people and menus and the whole travel
thing. I haven't even unpacked and have to fly out tomorrow to Frankfurt. Then, in the middle of the week it's back to Finland and then Rome and then home on July 3rd.

I'll tell you, when I get back I am sleeping for a month. I don't want to see a phone, a pager, computers, servers, routers, etc or anything electronic for a good long while. I just want to land on a beach somewhere and do nothing ut sleep in the sun forever. You guys who think busines travel is fun, I am sorry to disappoint you but it's a second job and very stressful.

Nowadays, it seems al company mission statements should read "cut cost" because they book the cheapest flights, the most stopovers, the worst scheduling and I am sick of it. I don't know how I am supposed to spend a month in Beijing in December. I might quit before then because I need a break.

Anyway, i also wanted to say hello to all of you and tell you we did spend one day at the pyramids at Teotihuacan. That was beautiful, awe inspiring and ver restful under the hot aztec sun. I took disposable over the counter cameras to CVS to have pictures and CD's created but they are not ready yet. When they are, I will post some pictures of Finland, Mexico, Argentina, Italy and a few other places I worked in over the last five or six months.

take care everyone,
love,
MJB

DID YOU NOT NOTICE THE DUDE WANTs TO COMMIT SUICIDEI

Should you not be trying to give him encouragement to live!

think I am really ready to quit now. I am not enjoying life and I did try to live for so many that count on me, my friends, my family, all of you and many others, but, I really don't have the strength anymore and am too tired to keep trying. I really do need to go to sleep permanently and get the rest I need from this life, from the memories and from myself too.

I think I can hang on a few more months to finish a web-site for Talia and for Marina and then setup some final arrangements which will take me beyond summer. I really don't want to see another winter or end up in China at the end of the year. I'm done.

Sorry to be depressing. Anyway, a big hello and hugs and kisses to all of you and sorry if I have not been around, listen if anyone is from Mexico City on the board, send me an e-mail and I will send you my hotel information.

Also, if anyone is from Helsinki, I am at the Hilton Strand in downtown and will return in two weeks. I would enjoy meeting anyone from the board while I am out on the road. Thank you all for everything and I hope to write again real soon.

Adios
