Oh man, Maria—that line, I wore all the loss—went straight to my (sorry this was sent and I was in the middle of writing to you on my phone...must have been sent in error) -- heart. I know that is not easy, and I've imagined a worst-case scenario a few times wondering what one does in such cases.

Every time we learn a valuable lesson - the first time is always the most painful. Well, so it seems...perhaps repeating one can be just as annoying. But I've learned just not to take chances when dealing with money and a large event such as this -

Was a reminder again that regardless of "status or position or wealth" - none of it is a guarantee that you are dealing with a "responsible person" or even one with integrity.

Thanks for reading and sharing your experience with me...wishing you a fun Friday Maria!!
