Maybe it’s your fault for being too lazy and/or illiterate to continue writing in. Maybe it’s my fault for advising you so well in the past that you no longer need me to tell you what to do. Whatever the reason, let’s not dwell on it, the end result is the same—it’s time to move on. : So what shall become of “Last Call?” I suppose I could take the hint and leave grace- ly, but I think we both know that isn’t going to happen. I assure you, however, that I will use this forum responsibly. Some weeks I may enlighten you with my highly informed political insights, other weeks I may discuss the finer points of cold fusion, and then there'll be the weeks when I just chat about stuff I’ve had on my mind. Probably, there’ll be more of that last one. So what’s on my mind this week? Mexico. _ Yes, Mexico. I am going to Mexico. Pretty pedestrian as far as vacations go, but it’s huge for me. You see, despite my air of cosmopolitan worldliness, I’ve never actually been anywhere. Well, I’ve been to St. Johns, Seattle, Winnipeg, and Fargo...but that’s as far as my traveling experience extends. So, to me, Mexico might as well be the moon. Except on the moon I probably wouldn’t have to wear a bathing suit. Hmmm, maybe it’s not too late to reschedule. Ah, Mexico. True, I have an innate fear of iguanas, the ocean, and Alaska Airlines, but I’ve also got an innate affection for tequila, quesadillas, and hot cabana boys looking to make a big tip. So, Mexico it is. Just to be clear, I’m not going on one of those educational, horizon-expanding vaca- tions that involve backpacks and a new appreciation of another culture—I’m heading to Puerto Vallarta for seven nights and eight days in an all-inclusive, brightly coloured hotel- cum-tourist-asylum. This place is massive. Four pools, seven bars, eight restaurants, over 500 guest rooms, private beaches, a salon, and a disco. Fabulous. And disgusting. The per- fect combination as far as I’m concerned. In preparation for my excursion, I’ve been busy boning up on my Spanish—and my Spaniards—and I must say, it’s a joy to be learning again. I may be outing myself as a nerd here, but I like learning. It’s like when I first discovered chess, or typing, or grammar—I became slightly obsessed, and tried desperately to master each one in several days. True, I tired of them quickly and moved on to greener pastures (badminton, acoustic guitar, papi- er mache), but the initial excitement of learning was great while it lasted. And so, for the past three days I’ve been spending every spare moment listening to Spanish tutorials on my iPod, and I’m totally hooked. At this point, the only things I can say with confidence are “I would like a bottle of red wine, please,” and “No. I am not American, I am Canadian,” but I reckon if push comes to shove I can get by with that. Well, it’s been a pleasure chatting at you, but I really must get back to my espajfiol now. That means Spanish. Impressed much?
