Sister Pearl's World

me!

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.

 




Dear Swine Flu,

   Your timing could not have been worse. Thanks to you, the U.S. government has suspended issuing travel visas to visitors from South America. Which means that my mother-in-law had to cancel her plans to come visit us this summer. Which means that now my husband is moping around the house because he misses his mom like crazy and now he won’t get to see her. Which means I have to deal with the fallout of a mama’s boy who misses his mama.

Not to mention all the other travel plans which have been put on hold, the panic spreading around the globe, people getting sick and dying, and general disorder in society resulting from your appearance.

You suck, swine flu.
