Hey, David,
Funny you should mention all the important conversations I'm supposedly having. This evening, Katie sat on a panel of four women to discuss human trafficking live on Belizean television. As expected, it was a laugh riot. I sat in the studio taking notes during the 90-minute show. The following are excerpts from my notebook, almost entirely verbatim:
-2 minutes to showtime. Katie apologizes for the length of her skirt. Cameraman insists it is not a problem. Cameraman is male.
-Katie mistakenly declares that Bay City is an hour and a half north of Detroit (two hours).
-Virginia (host) declares that they will now be accepting phone-in questions. I pray there is a Belizean version of Matt Kelly out there. My prayers will no doubt go unanswered.
-During her description of the Partners chapter, Abigail mentions cultural exchanges between countries, specifically music. She says "Steel Pan" went to America. I fully expected her to say "Steel Panther." I am disappointed when this is not so.
-Apparently going to a strip club can suport human trafficking. Cue brief discussion of men who implicitly support human trafficking by going to titty bars. Clearly, they have never been to the Vu, where I only accept dances from younger sisters of guys I went to high school with.
-The show will not be filming next Monday, due to a holiday. Apparently the Lions' first Monday Night Football game in a decade (or, possibly Cheryl's birthday) counts as a national holiday in Central American countries.
-Commercial break: "Belize annual Park-Fest! Bring the entire family! Prizes! Bouncy castle! Beer-drinking contest! The after-party keeps it goin' at 11:00!"
And, that's a wrap!
"Belize annual Park-Fest! Bring the entire family! Prizes! Bouncy castle! Beer-drinking contest! The after-party keeps it goin' at 11:00!"
