10 Years: It was 10 years ago today that I went into the MTC to prepare for my two years in Brazil.

I missed a lot of '94 and '96 and all of '95 because of this. I missed the OJ trial, Cuthroat Island and Waterworld, a bunch of Clinton stuff, Full House getting cancelled, the Macarena craze . . . .

Y'know, come to think of it, I really didn't miss out on all that much.

But I sure would have missed out if I hadn't gone.

Abraços to my adopted pátria. I've got a whole boatload of saudades.
