But, many of the companies have offices in other states and countries.

I always tend to create something that is vague or trivial or not important enough to be taken seriously for more that the first month of a new year. This year, I opted for no New Year’s resolutions and instead to operate under the mantra of “We can do better.” Life @ M+NLB, General 2011-02-07T18:05:58+00:00 http://www.mazzetti.com/index.php/blogs/view/490/ http://www.mazzetti.com/index.php/blogs/view/490/#When:18:36:11Z Leaving a foreign country, and returning to the US is always, for me, a kind of trauma, as I have to shift my frame of reference away from what I am leaving and back to a US perspective. To me, though, it has never been harder than when leaving the poorest country in the hemisphere to come back to the richest.

A couple of weeks ago, in preparation for this trip, at some point I suddenly remembered the kids I had seen playing soccer, here. I decided to see if the kids here would like me to bring them some soccer gear. I contacted Tim, here, on the ground, and he said yes, the kids would love it.

I wrote my last post on Friday morning on the plane, and it seems like a long, long, time ago. I was finally able to figure out how to send it last night, and so, in real time, it has only been a very short while since it went up. We are now at a point where my limited skills make me virtually useless to the real work that is going on, and, in fact, the guys have so many Haitian Helpers who could actually benefit from their training that I was more in the way than not.
