I left my cousin Andre with a hug, with love and with a handmade Lucky Voodoo doll parting gift. Try getting that as a parting gift on some silly game show. Andre chose Inga, one I made back in New York. In addition to the doll and the hug, I also hope I left him with fond memories of cousinhood and how big chunks of the U.S. sort of look like New Mexico.
