Re: [sioux4noff] An update on my English students

We made it to Sirloin Stockade for our monthly lunch date in September. Fabulous buffet.
I'm sure we'll do that one again. This month we're planning to go to a Lebanese restaurant.
None of us has ever had Lebanese food, so it should be an adventure for us all.

We have two rules for our lunch parties: Be on time at the rendezvous point (Nery's house)
and speak only English. The second rule seems easier than the first. Since I don't drive anymore,
Nery is our designated driver in my pickup. He has a license; the other two procrastinators don't.

Next month, November, will be four years since Nery stopped me on the street
and asked me to help him learn English. A year later he brought Alex and Misael to my house.
Nery is now truly bi-lingual with a good accent. Alex is doing pretty well on vocabulary,
but his accent is not good. Misael is so busy in medical school that he has little time to study English.
His vocabulary is still limited, but his accent is good. He is so smart that he'd be bi-lingual by now
if he had a little more time to study.

Nery is mi nieto, Alex is Curly Top, and Misael is El Alto (he's over 6 feet).
I feel so blessed to have these bright young guys as my friends.

Here we are just finishing up at Sirloin Stockade.

Rolly, Alex, Nery, Misael
