Mid-spring I had decided I wanted to take my son to Puerto Rico. We hadn’t been there in more than four years. Hadn’t been back since hurricane Maria. I was sure much had changed and yet not much at as well. My son doesn’t recall his last trip […]
I’m not going to go off on a tangent here or there. Or take a full paragrapgh or two to get to the main point. It’s a new week and I need some sleep and need to put this to bed. Here we go. For the last few […]
