1:45 a.m. CST

In four hours I'm hopping in a car and driving to the Gulf Coast. From there, I'm heading out to sea on a four-night cruise to Mexico.

MEXICO/

In preparation for my trip, I asked a coworker to teach me some Spanish. He kindly taught me the following two phrases to help me get around:

1) "No tengo tiempo para su mierde."

2) "Quiero meter me langua in tu culo."

Thanks, Miguel! You're a lifesaver.

P.S. By the time I return on Monday, THE ENTIRE RECORD WILL BE MIXED. Aye, Dios mio!
