I would take it as a two-way feedback opportunity. I'd accept the critique and vow to be more concise where possible, but I'd also let the employee know that's not the way to do things.

I've been in 80+-degree temps so long now that this seems impossible.

The grace and graciousness of everyone, including our incredible innkeepers and a local church group who sheltered with us while scrounging enough food to prepare lunch and dinner for all, were amazing.

Sunday in the center of Puerto Vallarta was terrifying. But it was the disinformation that really spiked the nerves of loved ones at home.

I've been much impressed by the resilience of the locals--and by their compassion. I will carry those things in my heart forever.

I will have more to say and report at a later time.

A little hectic would be quite an understatement.

It is always amazing reading bs from people thousands of miles away tell you what's happening 50 yards from where you're standing.

Still in Mexico. But we ran out of coffee. 😶

If he's the finger in the dam, it's only because he gave them the finger, and they built their dam around it.

It is so perfect here in Puerto Vallarta. Canadians, Americans and Mexicans all unified--as we should be.
