The pursuit of happiness

"Yesterday was my neighbors birthday. I havent written much about him and his family, but they are truly good people. You couldnt ask for a better neighbor, a better friend, than my pal Pat. Un alma de Dios, as we Cubans say.

As we celebrated both Independence day and the birthday, Pat's cousin came by with his wife and a couple and their daughter that had just arrived from Cuba nineteen days ago. Nineteen days! The family had won the visa "lotto" in Cuba back in 1998 and had just been allowed to leave the island a little less than three weeks ago."
