A close family member died unexpectedly the day I came back. My […]

Wait, it could have happened at 6 p.m. PST! Did California go down with a 9.0 earthquake? NOPE. No earthquakes in California, no noteworthy earthquakes anywhere. However, there is a volcano […]

Dos perlitas dulcísimas (que Dios se las bendiga!).
