Monday, December 14, 2009: Hi Sam. I spoke with Alicia today. We had the appeal Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel) file sent to us to we can prepare the defense. They worked all weekend on it and want to meet Wednesday. It sounds like you are still not feeling well. I am so sorry. I was up since 3:30 this morning. I woke up thinking about you and could not go back to sleep.
Adriana and I got into another disagreement about Christmas. It’s clear I will not be spending Christmas with you again. Why? Because Adriana does not want us to. She is flying family out and is using that as an excuse. Seriously. It’s not like I did not know this was coming. Dealing with someone who does not deal in reality almost makes me think there is something wrong with me. This is par for the course. The US State Department calls it the Parental Abduction Playbook. They have seen this all thousands of times before. Adriana is not fooling anybody.
