I was in Mexico for a birthday party/anniversary celebration. It was a family affair hosted by my brother and his wife. They rented a big house that overlooked the beach and it was all very posh. The perfect environment to pull aside an ol head and talk to him about the good old days. I chose Dexter (as I knew him) because I realized I didn't know much about him and my memories of him get a little foggy around high school. So glad I did! This show was hecho en Mexico.
