We have coffee and sometimes pitufos in the morning. I go for walks. I do some exercise. I blog (and create a new blog on Wordpress). I do laundry. I eat. We go out for dinner a few nights... or more. I write to and phone The Kid Brother. I take care of some business and put off other business. I wash dishes. I watch the sunrise.<br />

I watch the birds outside our windows and I watch the cats watch the birds outside our windows.<br />

I cuddle with the cats... and even sometimes San Geraldo.<br />

When I write it all, it doesn't sound that bad. But I'm due for something constructive and cultural.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">S</span><span style="font-size: large;">AN GERALDO AND </span></b></span>I are pretty much incompatible when it comes to sleeping together. We've tried over the years. Sometimes it's worked, but not for long. He likes it hot. I like it cold. I sleep with nothing on, rarely even a top sheet. He likes weight and can sometimes sleep under three blankets.<br />
<br />
If he wakes up during the night, which he often does, he turns on the lights and reads. If I wake up during the night, which I often do, I can't turn on a light or read or I might be up for the rest of the night.<br />
<br />
He snores. I sometimes do, too.<br />
<br />
When we were both working, I would grind my teeth in my sleep. It kept him awake and left me aching in the morning. I also had restless leg syndrome, which would wake San Geraldo with a start during the night (and me, too, sometimes).<br />
<br />
I sleep with four pillows and I'm an active sleeper; I move all over the bed. Pillows end up on the floor or under my feet. Even the cats won't get too close to me when I'm asleep.<br />
<br />
Unlike us, Dudo and Moose are very compatible sleepers. However, when they're awake they can be brutal. San Geraldo and I are <u><b>always</b></u> kind. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)<br />
<br />
I do wish we could be more like the cats.<br />

<i><span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">S</span><span style="font-size: large;">AN GERALDO Y </span></b></span>yo somos bastante incompatibles cuando se trata de dormir juntos. Lo hemos intentado a lo largo de los años. A veces funciona, pero no por mucho tiempo. A él le gusta el calor. A mi me gusta el frio. Duermo sin nada, rara vez incluso una sábana superior. A él le gusta el peso y, a veces, puede dormir bajo tres mantas.</i><br />
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Si se despierta durante la noche, como suele hacer, enciende las luces y lee. Si me despierto durante la noche, cosa que hago con frecuencia, no puedo encender una luz o leer o podría estar despierto toda la noche. </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Él ronca. Yo también lo hago a veces. </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Cuando los dos estábamos trabajando, rechinaba los dientes mientras dormía. Lo mantuvo despierto y me dejó con dolor por la mañana. También tuve el síndrome de las piernas inquietas, que despertaría a San Geraldo con un sobresalto durante la noche (y yo también, a veces). </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Duermo con cuatro almohadas y tengo el sueño activo; me muevo por toda la cama. Las almohadas terminan en el suelo o bajo mis pies. Ni siquiera los gatos se acercarán a mí cuando esté dormido. </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>A diferencia de nosotros, Dudo y Moose son durmientes muy compatibles. Sin embargo, cuando están despiertos pueden ser brutales. San Geraldo y yo <u><b>siempre</b></u> somos amables. (Esa es mi historia y me atengo a ella.)</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Ojalá pudiéramos ser más como los gatos.</i></div>

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span><span style="font-size: large;">HE FIRST TIME </span></b></span>San Geraldo's cousin Ellen visited the United States from her home in Bergen, Norway, she for some reason decided to try and sound "Southern." She sat in the car and, in her best imitation of a generic Southern American accent, she repeated, "Hi, my name is Ellen and I'm from Alabama. I got me a gun to protect my family." For some reason, it was funny.<br />
<br />
About a year later, we were in an antique and collectibles shop in Santa Barbara and found a new, but made to look old, metal roadside sign that read, "Welcome to Mississippi. At least it's not Alabama." Of course, we bought it for Ellen and brought it to Norway that Christmas. She hammered nail holes into the sign (to look like bullet holes) and hung it on the wall.<br />
<br />
I saw this guy on the train the other day. At least it's not Ala<b>B</b>ama. And I have no idea what "old mincren" means. Another clothing item lost in translation.<br />
<br />

Crimson Tide is the nickname of the University of Alabama football team.<br />

<i><span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">L</span><span style="font-size: large;">A PRIMERA VEZ </span></b></span>que Ellen, una prima de San Geraldo, visitó los Estados Unidos desde su casa en Bergen, Noruega, por alguna razón decidió intentar sonar "sureña" (de EEUU). Se sentó en el auto y, en su mejor imitación de un acento sureño genérico, repetía en inglés: "Hola, me llamo Ellen y soy de Alabama. Me compré un arma para proteger a mi familia". Por alguna razón, fue gracioso.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Aproximadamente un año después, estábamos en una tienda de artículos antiguos y coleccionables en Santa Bárbara y encontramos un nuevo cartel de metal de aspecto antiguo, que decía: "Bienvenido a Mississippi. Al menos no es Alabama." Por supuesto, lo compramos por Ellen y se lo llevaron a Noruega esa Navidad. Hizo agujeros con clavos en el cartel (para que parecieran agujeros de bala) y lo colgó en la pared.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Vi a este tipo en el tren el otro día. Al menos no es Ala<b>B</b>ama. Pero no tengo idea de lo que significa "old mincren". Entiendo "old" (viejo); pero no creo que "mincren" sea una palabra. Otro artículo de ropa perdido en la traducción.</i><br />

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">W</span><span style="font-size: large;">HEN WE LIVED </span></b></span>in San Diego in the 1990s, I alphabetized the cookbooks in our library. I was so happy with the results — order out of chaos — that I decided to do the same with our mess of spices in one of the kitchen cabinets. When I finished, the spices were in alphabetical order on stepped shelving and two-tiered turntables (which, oddly, I always had on hand and which should tell you something about my personality), easily visible, easily reachable, and exactly where they were supposed to be. <br />
<br />
When San Geraldo walked in the door, I pointed at the bookshelves and announced, "Look what I did!"<br />
<br />
"What?"<br />
<br />
"I alphabetized the cookbooks!"<br />
<br />
He sputtered. "Well, using what system?"<b><span style="color: #ffd966;"> (I should note he was director of libraries at University of California, San Diego.)</span></b><br />
<br />
"What?"<br />
<br />
"Where did you put the Sunset Ground Beef Cookbook?"<br />
<br />
"What?"<br />
<br />
"Well, did you put it under Sunset? Ground? Or is it under Beef?!? How am I supposed to find anything?"<br />
<br />
"I also alphabetized the spices," I commented as I walked into the kitchen.<br />
<br />
"But... What system did you use? Is black pepper under Pepper? Is it under Black? What about red pepper? Or Spanish Paprika? Is ground cumin under Cumin or is it under Ground?"<br />
<br />
"Jerry, tell me, what system do YOU use for organizing the spices and the cookbooks?"<br />
<br />
"I don't use any. I just search for what I need."<br />
<br />
"OK, then, just pretend everything is still a complete mess and keep searching."<br />
<br />
Today's two photos should give you an idea of what it's like to live with me. And, just so you know, this is all me. I make no demands of San Geraldo, who never puts anything away anyway. And, yes, I rearrange daily as stock dwindles. <br />
<br />
I control what I can.<br />

<i><b><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: x-large;">C</span><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;">UANDO VIVÍAMOS EN </span></b>San Diego en los años 90, ordené alfabéticamente los libros de cocina en nuestra biblioteca. Estaba tan feliz con los resultados, ordenados por el caos, que decidí hacer lo mismo con nuestro lío de especias en uno de los gabinetes de la cocina. Cuando terminé, las especias estaban en orden alfabético en las estanterías escalonadas y en los tocadiscos de dos niveles (que, curiosamente, siempre tenía a mano y que deberían contarle algo sobre mi personalidad), fácilmente visibles, fácilmente accesibles, y exactamente dónde estaban y exactamente donde se suponía que estaban.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Cuando San Geraldo volvio a casa, señalé las estanterías y anuncié: "¡Mira lo que hice!"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"¿Qué?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"¡Alfabeticé los libros de cocina!"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Él escupió. "Pero, ¿usando qué sistema?" <span style="color: #ffd966;"><b>(Debo decirles que fue director de bibliotecas en la Universidad de California, San Diego).</b></span></i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"¿Qué?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"¿Dónde pusiste el libro de cocina Sunset Ground Beef?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"¿Qué?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"¿Lo pusiste debajo de Sunset? Ground? ¿O está debajo de Beef? ¿Cómo se supone que debo encontrar algo?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"También ordené alfabéticamente las especias", comenté mientras caminaba hacia la cocina.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Pero ... ¿Qué sistema usaste? ¿Está la pimienta negra debajo de Pimienta? ¿Está debajo de Negra? ¿Qué pasa con la pimienta roja? ¿O la paprika española? ¿El comino molido está debajo de Comino o Molido?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Jerry, dime, ¿qué sistema utilizas para organizar las especias y los libros de cocina?"</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"No uso ninguno. Solo busco lo que necesito".</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>"Está bien, entonces, finge que todo sigue siendo un completo desastre y sigue buscando".</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Las dos fotos de hoy deberían darte una idea de cómo es vivir conmigo. Y, para que lo sepas, esto es todo yo. </i>No hago demandas a San Geraldo, quien nunca guarda nada de todos modos. <i>Y, sí, reorganizo diariamente a medida que las existencias disminuyen.</i><br />

She owns one of the local fruit markets (the best local fruit market), housed in the Los Boliches public marketplace. Ana brings sunshine and color to even the dreariest day. Even if she does prefer San Geraldo's bear hugs to my hugs, which she says feel like she's hugging a block of wood. I suppose, in one sense, I should be proud of my rock-hard physique — which <u><b>I'm sure</b></u> is what she means. Besides, San Geraldo does give <u><b>the best</b></u> hugs. (So does Ana.)<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;"><b>By the </b></span>way, I paid 50 euros today to send our ballots via DHL to California. Orange County (The OC) had better count them! Especially after not confirming our registration, not responding to my emails, and emailing our official ballots at the last minute after I wrote and complained to the Federal Voting Assistance Program. It turns out that, if I had better understood how it all worked, I wouldn't have needed to wait anyway. May all our votes bear fruit!<br />

<b><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: x-large;">I </span><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;">WENT FOR </span></b>a hike Friday into a bit of the countryside with my pal Luke and his parents, Pedro and Kathleen. Leave it to a gifted 3-year-old to pose the existential question of the day.<br />
<br />
Every few seconds Luke asked his mother, in English, "Where are we going?" "On a hike" or "for a walk" or "to explore," she would reply.<br />
<br />
So Luke would turn to his father and ask, in Spanish, "Donde va?" Pedro would correct his Spanish and say, "¿Donde vamos?" which would prompt Luke to ask, "¿Donde vamos?" Same answers. In Spanish.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;"><b>I tried </b></span>faxing in our absentee ballots to Orange County, California, today. They are due Friday and we only received them this past Friday. The FAX wouldn't go through. Apparently too busy in Orange County. So now I have to rush mail them and hope they arrive on time. And I ask, "Where are we going?"<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">I </span><span style="font-size: large;">WAS GOING </span></b></span>to tell you the details of my recent frustrations with online technologies — like the fact that some readers are unable to comment on some Google Blogspot blogs, like mine, for no apparent reason — or the fact that Facebook has been blocking me from sharing my blog posts for more than a month because either: 1) my blog has been reported as abusive, or 2) Facebook thinks this is spam, or 3) this post goes against our "Community Standards", or 4) Facebook is experiencing technical difficulties and apologizes for the inconvenience.<br />
<br />
But I'm not going to talk about that today. I'm going to be more Zen... and talk about S'mores. We had dinner at our friends' Pedro and Kathleen's the other night. Pedro cooked vegetable soup, which was exceptional. Kathleen followed with S'mores by candlelight. Traditionally, S'mores are created by skewering marshmallows on twigs and roasting them over a campfire. Kathleen, always creative, always non-traditional, and — more importantly — without a campfire, gave us each a chopstick and lit a "Buddha" candle. It worked just as well.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;"><b>We followed </b></span>our Buddha S'mores with a game of cards. Pedro won. As you can see by his reaction in the last two photos, Pedro doesn't win very often.<br />

<i><br /></i>
<i>Pero no voy a hablar de eso hoy. Voy a ser más Zen ... y hablaré de S'mores. </i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Nota:</span><br />Un S'more es un postre tradicional de Estados Unidos y Canadá, que se consume habitualmente en fogatas nocturnas como las de los exploradores y que consiste en un malvavisco tostado y una capa de chocolate entre dos trozos de galleta Graham.</b></span></i><br />
<br />
<i>Cenamos en la casa de nuestros amigos, Pedro y Kathleen, la otra noche. Pedro cocinó sopa de verduras, que era excepcional. Kathleen siguió con S'mores a la luz de las velas. Tradicionalmente, los S'mores se crean pinchando malvaviscos en ramitas y asándolos en una fogata. Kathleen, siempre creativa, siempre no tradicional, y — lo que es más importante — sin una fogata, nos dio a cada uno un palillo y encendió una vela de "Buda". Funcionó igual de bien.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;"><b>Seguimos a </b></span>nuestros Buddha S'mores con un juego de cartas. Pedro ganó. Como puede ver por su reacción en las dos últimas fotos, Pedro no gana muy a menudo.</i><br />

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">L</span><span style="font-size: large;">AST NIGHT, WE </span></b></span>were at our favorite place, Mesón Salvador, for their second annual Halloween dinner <a href="https://mitchellismoving.blogspot.com/2017/11/diabolic-salad-and-ghost-strudel.html" target="_blank">(click here for last year)</a>. We, and our friend Elena, even went in costume this time. But we wore masks instead of makeup because: 1) We couldn't figure out what makeup to <b><u>buy</u></b>; 2) We had no idea how to <u><b>apply</b></u> makeup and; 3) We had no idea how to <b><u>remove</u></b> it.<br />
<br />
The menu was excellent, clever, and extremely creepy. All the usual zombies and ghouls were in attendance. I'll introduce some of them tomorrow. Following that, I'll share photos of us in costume (as well as San Geraldo in his underwear).<br />
<br />
Today, it's all about the zombie food.<br />

<i><br />
El menú era excelente, ingenioso, y extremadamente espeluznante. Todos los zombies habituales y demonios necrófagos estuvieron presentes. Les presentaré algunos de ellos mañana. Después de eso, compartiré fotos de nosotros con el vestuario (así como San Geraldo en su ropa interior). </i><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">N</span><span style="font-size: large;">O, I DON'T </span></b></span>think I'm batty. Well, I'm at least less batty than I was a few days ago. Does telling you I'm struggling with my clinical depression help me come out of the darkness or do I admit I'm struggling when I'm already escaping the darkness? I'm sure it's the latter because, if all it took to overcome depression was to tell someone else, there wouldn't be a problem, would there?<br />
<br />
But, speaking of batty, for some reason I fixated on the fruit bats (flying foxes) hanging around the aviary at Bioparc Fuengirola last week. Taking inspiration from an image recently shared by the very clever "She Who Seeks" <a href="http://shewhoseeks.blogspot.com/2018/10/halloween-odds-n-sods.html" target="_blank">(click here)</a>, I flipped some of the bats 90 or 180 degrees. Batty!<br />

<i><span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">E</span><span style="font-size: large;">N INGLÉS "TO </span></b></span>be batty" (ser como un murciélago) significa "ser loco." (No sé si es lo mismo en español.) Entonces, me pregunto si soy "batty." No, no creo que soy loco. Bueno, soy al menos <u><b>menos</b></u> loco de lo que era hace unos días. El hecho de decirte que estoy luchando con mi depresión clínica me ayuda a salir de la oscuridad o debo admitir que estoy luchando cuando ya estoy escapando de la oscuridad? Estoy seguro de que es lo último porque, si todo lo necesario para superar la depresión fuera decirle a alguien más, no habría ningún problema, ¿verdad? </i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Pero, hablando de "batty," por alguna razón me obsesioné con los murciélagos de la fruta (murcielagos zorros volador) que se encontraban alrededor de la pajarera en Bioparc Fuengirola la semana pasada. Inspirándome en una imagen recientemente compartida por la muy inteligente "She Who Seeks" <a href="http://shewhoseeks.blogspot.com/2018/10/halloween-odds-n-sods.html" target="_blank">(haz clic aquí),</a> le di la vuelta a algunos de los murciélagos 90 o 180 grados. ¡Loco!</i><br />

<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">T</span><span style="font-size: large;">HERE'S A MAN</span></b></span> in town who used to get paid by a sand sculptor to guard his work This past summer, he created a sand castle of his own and chatted up the passersby to drop some coins for his efforts. It might possibly have been the worst "art" I've seen on our beaches. But he was out there every day for a number of weeks, so I dropped some coins on his "tip towel."<br />
<br />
Lately, he's been on the paseo building a "boat" out of scrap wood and spray foam insulation. I sure hope he has no plans to take it out to sea.<br />
<br />
The man has a camper van parked on the paseo. I walked by the other day when the curtain was drawn across the side door and I snapped a picture of his boat on the roof. At that very moment, he threw open the curtain and my camera caught him in nothing but a pair of blue-striped boxer briefs. I've only shown you the boat. You're welcome. (Trust me.)<br />
<br />
The photo of the boat under construction is followed by some of his earlier projects. (OK, that's a lie.) But, click the images and they'll get bigger. (And that's the truth.)<br />

El verano pasado, creó su propio castillo de arena y conversó con los transeúntes para que tiraran algunas monedas por sus esfuerzos. Posiblemente haya sido el peor "arte" que he visto en nuestras playas. Pero estuvo allí todos los días durante varias semanas, así que dejé caer algunas monedas en su "toalla de propina".</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Últimamente, ha estado en el paseo construyendo un "barco" de madera de desecho y aislamiento de espuma en aerosol. Espero que no tenga planes de llevarlo al mar.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Él tiene una caravana estacionado en el paseo. Pasé por el otro día cuando se corrió la cortina a través de la puerta lateral y hice una foto de su barco en el techo. En ese mismo momento, abrió la cortina y mi cámara lo atrapó con nada más que un par de calzoncillos de boxer de rayas azules. Solo te he mostrado el barco de abajo. De nada. (Confía en mi.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>La foto del barco en construcción es seguida por algunos de sus proyectos anteriores. (OK, eso es una mentira). Pero, haz clic en las imágenes y se harán más grandes. (Y esa es la verdad.)</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><b><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;">Nota:</span></b></i><br />
<i>Hay una expresión en íngles "Whatever floats your boat," que literalmente significa,"lo que hace que su barco flote." En español sería, "lo que te venga bien".</i><br />

<br />
You might remember the photos of the two sand sculptures I shared 10 days ago. One sculptor was determined to weather the storm. The other took his chances. Here's what's happened since. I'm not quite sure who I'm more like. Probably the latter.<br />

We had two parakeets (one at a time). Those were followed by, also one at a time: a turtle, a chameleon, a series of hamsters and, finally, three large tanks of tropical fish (all at the same time, in my bedroom).
<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I went away to school, I deeded the fish tanks to the Kid Brother. That first winter, he was worried they'd get cold, so he turned the heaters up. He boiled the fish.</div>

Unlike the Dowager Duchess, I love animals. (It's people that give me trouble.) Introducing Kalimantan (Kali). She's a 2-year-old Borneo Orangutan (critically endangered) born at Bioparc Fuengirola. In 2013, Bioparc Fuengirola began a partnership with Borneo Nature Foundation to promote education and preservation of the species and its natural habitat. Our "Bioparc" makes me proud. Kali makes me smile.<br />

I grabbed my camera from the night table and headed outside. When I arrived on the terrace, I was surprised to find Moose sitting in the dark admiring the view. I had no idea a cat could appreciate a sunrise.<br />
<br />
I wonder if I should enroll him in a school for exceptional cats. (Maybe CATS College Canterbury.)<br />

<span style="color: #ffd966;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">L</span><span style="font-size: large;">OOKING FOR A </span></b></span>bit of "me" time Thursday, I really identified with two ring-tailed lemurs who sat quietly on a log only to be overrun by their extended family. But when their extended family left as suddenly as they arrived, my two friends looked a bit lonely, which I guess is not much different from how I feel. I want to be alone... until I'm left alone.<br />
<br />
I wonder if a couple of the males had had a "stink fight." They really do that. They cover their tails with their scent and then waft it at their opponents. I'm sure we all know someone who does that.<br />
<br />
Twelve lemur photos. Because it struck me funny. (Click the images for bigger lemurs.)<br />

<b><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: x-large;">A</span><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: large;">LTHOUGH I HAVEN'T </span></b>said anything, I've been having some emotional challenges again lately. Just a normal downswing in my life. Brain chemistry. (I was never very good at chemistry.)<br />
<br />
In times like these, I withdraw from people — sometimes completely and sometimes, like now, just a little. Communing with animals is my therapy. Since the cats are so busy with the crag martins, I decided to go to Bioparc Fuengirola (the zoo) after lunch today.<br />
<br />
In January, Bioparc Fuengirola become the only animal park in Andalusia authorized by the European Association of Zoos and Aquariums to house a reproductive group of gorillas. I'd like you to meet my new friend Echo, a Western Lowland Gorilla who moved to Fuengirola in May to hook up with longtime resident Kim. He and Kim are getting along well... although I don't think they've been "intimate."<br />
<br />
I think Echo and I hit it off well. He might not agree.<br />

Sólo un giro normal en mi vida. Química cerebral. (Nunca fui muy bueno en química._</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>En momentos como estos, me retiro de las personas, a veces completamente y otras, como ahora, solo un poco. La comunión con los animales es mi terapia. Como los gatos están tan ocupados con los martineros, decidí ir a Bioparc Fuengirola (el zoológico) después del almuerzo de hoy.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>En enero, Bioparc Fuengirola se convirtió en el único parque de animales en Andalucía autorizado por la Asociación Europea de Zoológicos y Acuarios para albergar un grupo reproductivo de gorilas. Me gustaría que conozcas a mi nuevo amigo Echo, un gorila occidental de llanura que se mudó a Fuengirola en mayo para reunirse con el residente de larga duración, Kim. Él y Kim se llevan bien ... aunque no creo que hayan sido "íntimos".</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Creo que Echo y yo nos llevamos bien. Es posible que no esté de acuerdo.</i><br />

Anyway, San Geraldo, as you may already know, often mixes metaphors and mispronounces words.<br />
<br />
Come to think of it, Malapropism may be his native tongue.<br />
<br />
The other day, San Geraldo asked me, "Where did the expression the whole kit and caboodle come from?" As I tried to explain what I thought might be the origin of this expression, which simply means "everything" or "all of them," I discovered that what San Geraldo was actually saying was the whole "kitten caboodle." No wonder he gets confused.<br />
