another quick story from puerto rico...to the right is a photo of me with two of the staff members at the ranch where i was filming atv, horseback riding and mountain biking for about four days straight. their names are alejandro and liz.
on the second to last day, i wasn't sure if i would be back again, so i was saying goodbye to all of the staff.
they had all been so accommodating and had helped me get some amazing footage, which in turn made me look good in front of my boss.
i did the manly shake hands and hug thing with alejandro and told him that if, for some strange reason, he was ever lost in dayton, ohio, that he could crash at my house.
i turned to liz, shook her hand and leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek. she returned the gesture and i told her how awesome she and her coworkers had been.
of course, one of the atv guides named sammy, could not let this friendly gesture go without making a sarcastic remark to liz in spanish.
i knew it was about me because i heard the spanish word for "kiss" and sensed the generally smart-alec tone of his comment.
i completely understood her response in spanish, which was, "he doesn't want to kiss you, you're an ugly boy."
to which i added, "si, no beso para ti."
he laughed and said, "awww, no kiss for me?"
sidenote: it's overcast and forty frickin' degrees in dayton right now.
