What would you do?

On this one, I’m undecided. But meaning against.

Years ago I became pals with a customer. We became tight over time. He’s a great friend. I very much value the relationship. Dinners often. Hikes. Long talks about economy, theory, finance. Etc.

He got engaged along the way. I’m super tight with her too. We do a lot of dinners together.

They asked me to be in their wedding party. I’m obviously relatively old. It’s been a long time since my wedding party days. But these are good people. I was honored and said of course.

Bachelor parties were never my thing. I’m just not a big party guy. First it was Costa Rica. Never been, I was excited. Then Scottsdale. Also cool. Both a lot of daytime outdoor activities. Now it’s Mexico City. Confirmed.

I don’t tend to fear travel. I don’t love it either. But if I’m going somewhere, I’m not often nervous. Like I say, I don’t party hard. And I don’t often put myself on a position to worry. I’m also not necessarily an easy target.

I’ve been to MC twice on business. We had handlers both times. When they started floating the idea I said I didn’t want to stop them, but I wasn’t comfortable either. It’s now confirmed.

Apparently they know people. And we are staying in the nicest of areas with people in the know.

I’m still not comfortable.

Like I said, I tend to not be worried about travel. But I also don’t put myself in positions where I’d be worried. But any area of the US, I’m rarely concerned. At all.

Foreign country (one that I do love), don’t speak the language, old guy at bachelor party, an area known for “trouble”.

But I admit I’m ignorant on the subject. They say it’s super safe. Zero concerns.

I think I’m going to bail on this particular part of the festivities. I’m confident it’ll create some waves. And these people are important to me. But….if I’m not comfortable, I’m not comfortable.

I am who I am.
