Sister Pearl's World RSS

Hi. I'm Marco's sister. Those of you who don't know me can call me Pearl. When I was nineteen, I bit into a pearl in a fried oyster in some linoleum-floored crab shack on Cape Cod.

I'm a recovering graduate student, high school Spanish teacher, unrepentant history geek, and budding mystic. I've traveled to four of the seven continents. I always love to discuss politics, religion, history, and philosophy. In my other life, I'm also a wife with really poor housekeeping skills. But I can cook.

I’m so excited, my huband and I just bought bicycles!

The two bikes, plus all the necessary accessories, came out to around $1100.

Which is still FAR less expenisve than paying for gas for two cars for the next few months.

What my students do when I give them free time.
The best part is, this is actually a fairly accurate portrait of the two sophomores!

I guess, the difference in my mind is, if you knew the perils, but the conversation that you had with the public painted a rosier picture, how is that not deception? What it sounds like for me is, the fact that you seemed to know all the risks takes this from manslaughter to homicide.

Awesome. 

   I recognized the city almost immediately as Buenos Aires from the colectivos going by and the “Cristina” graffiti on the walls. It nice to see another person’s view — or dreamscape — of my “city-in-law”!
