in a week i’ll be gone again. living out of my backpack legitamately not because i’m homeless. off to guatemala to learn spanish. and on the side i’ll be checking out the public health situation in the area. i know i know – hurricanes and mudslides. but i checked with the school and they haven’t […]
let me start this with a heartfelt thank you to my family. when i changed my flight yesterday so i get to fort worth earlier and disrupted their planning they didn’t bat an eyelash. in fact, i was welcomed home with sushi and the chance to play with both of my nieces. even so, i’m […]
