OK, Sao Paulo has dozens of cases of the swine flu. The metro area has a population of 20 million people. I feel bad for the sick people but come on...talk about overreacting. We had to fill out special H1N1 paperwork on the plane. School is starting a week late for the kids (and two weeks late in the Sao Paulo school system) so people can get it under control. Even in church today, no wine and no sign of peace. All of this is especially stupid given the warm way Brazilians greet each other. Everyone gets a hug and a kiss on the cheek as a hello. Germs abound on a regular basis. We could have a pandemic on our hands!
Hannah and Jackson are ready to go back to school. Jackson is a little behind in his summer homework so he wasn't heartbroken but I know he would have rallied and been ready. The kids really need to return to academia and their friends now that we are back in Sao Paulo. If the break gets extended longer, I won't complain too much because Lynne, Dan, Nathan and Noah are coming on the 11th. We'll see what happens.

That is the best picture I've seen in a long time. What a riot.
Unfortunately, the story wasn't as humorous.
Were you guys vaccinated?
