First, zen, my condolences to you and your family.
What is the VKG social page? The old, separate site is defunct still, isn't it? Last time I checked there, I saw a bunch of Japanese kanji, but that was a good while ago. I'm sorry I'm behind the times on all of this.
I'm not real keen on Mexico, either, although there was a Brasilia for sale there that almost sucked me in. It was sold before I got to the final stage of arranging a rendezvous. I have, however, made a resolution of sorts to being more social this year regardless of my state of, umm, dubbiness.
