In keeping with our rapidly developing tradition of finding any plausible reason to throw a party, the UruguayLiving crowd will be hosting a Saint Patrick’s Day party at our new offices this Saturday beginning at 9PM. Directions at: http://www.sociedadsouthron.net/forums/ … f=12&t=546 The traditional green beer and Jameson’s Whiskey will be provided, as will the less [...]
After months of waiting, the printed version of “The Southron’s Guide to Living in Uruguay” is finally available online at: http://www.lulu.com/content/579686.
What do you get when you mix Hawaiian beef, Chinese chicken, double chocolate cookies, Uruguayan wine, Grappa made from Gewürztraminer grapes, fireworks and incense?

No red carpet, no walk of fame, no annoying paparazzi, and no outfits that cost more than a house– despite all that we had a good time. The Southron was tastefully dressed in matching green sweatpants and T-shirt, and the couture of the rest of the merrymakers ranged widely.
For those who may have forgotten to pack your Christmas music, just go to http://www.christmasradionetwork.com/ where they have Christmas 365 days every year.

Many of you have been kind enough to send the personal Christmas greetings through e-mail. I simply don’t have enough time or energy to respond to each of those greetings in the way I would like. But, be assured that they are appreciated and reciprocated. Christmas has always been very important to me; but as [...]

Dear Lord, On this Thanksgiving Day, like the Pilgrims of old, I thank you for bringing me to this bountiful new land; for the new people brought into my life, both here and elsewhere. I know that without Your help, I have a hopeless tendency to get things wrong, so I pray for:
The consenus seems to be for Thursday. The plan is to start anytime after 15.00, as the first football game is at 15.30. We’ll start with refreshments and snacks, with dinner sometime around 18.00 so anyone who has to work can still make it for dinner. With the late sunset, it should work perfectly.
I just don’t understand it. We have lived in multiple countries, we do business in places like Kirghizstan and Russia, take holidays in Kosovo and Bosnia, and sometimes even travel to really dangerous places like Detroit. But the Copperhead doesn’t want to let me try this really cool new receipe for Thanksgiving turkey that one [...]
