It’s 5 AM and 75 degrees The stars sparkle across the sky Shining just enough light To make the palm trees look scary. There’s a gentle breeze, but it does not cool.

A friend of mine commented that our family hacienda adventure should be wonderful since our personalities are very similar. I nodded a blank nod and later as I recalled the conversation I had to chuckle.

I’ve alway wondered about the name A Perfect Storm. We don’t describe anything else in this manner. We don’t say the Perfect Illness or Perfect Plane-crash, but somehow a storm that is likely to cause great devastation is classified as perfect.
