The title of this post has always been one of my favorite lines from, "The Godfather." When I say the first sentence to someone, it usually is done in such a context that THEY should worry about it.
But it's The Godfather thing I want to write about.
You see, in May, I spoke with Rick's grand nephew and he mentioned that there was an upcoming baptism for his youngest daughter. Of course, that means that there is a party associated with the event.
In many cases in Mexico, the resources are pooled among family and friends in order to make sure that the party is the needed blow out. So for a baptism, there would be a padrino for the cake, a madrina for the christening gown, another madrina for decorations, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. I offered to be a padrino in some way shape or form for the event.
Fast forward to last Friday. Rick's grand nephew (He has a name. Orlando.) touched base with me. I just got reminded that he was in a situation where the three rights worked in his favor. He was the right person, at the right place, at the right time. When I can be more objective, I will talk about it later.
We discussed the whole padrino thing, and he asked if I would be interested in being the padrino for his daughter, Rick's great grand niece. I said we would talk about it.
That is my excuse to hit the road. All I have to do is buy a ticket.
The adventure continues.
