So, here is why I really want to tell this story, despite some shame: Brazil was fantastic. Was it sordid and revolting? Yes.
Am I horrified that my father is reading about it? Tremendously. Would I recommend the exact same experience to even my very own daughter someday? If she spends as much of her life worrying and overanalyzing as her mother does, absolutely.
Everybody needs a little bit of that’s crazy, a little bit of way too much. Balance, Dad, like you said.
