My friend Mary thinks people can do anything they choose. Because she knows I've always wanted to write, and because I shot my mouth off about how I might blog, she's challenged me to (once in my life) follow through. And if I don't, she'll never get off my back.

El Sancho: Why I am a Mexican Man
I was listening to an NPR discussion on life insurance in minority communities (because NPR can make even this subject interesting to me, which is why I should donate some cash). The insurance expert explained that a major reason Mexican men won't buy life insurance is El Sancho. El Sancho is the guy your wife takes up with after you're dead and who will spend all your life insurance money. I've always been bothered by the possibility that a second wife could spend IRA money I accrued before I got married. Now I have a name for it!
This is too funny because I will actually point out attractive women for the mister to pursue if anything happens to me;-)
