The new year has started and with it, I have a few goals in mind, one of which being my desire to progress to a more advanced level of Spanish.

It is the end of the year, and while I am quite busy with family events during the holiday, I am also keenly aware of the impact 2021 will forever have in my life.

Normally posts like this come at Thanksgiving, but truth is I’ll be too busy to write something by then, so I’m posting a week early. 😅

Lorena and I are off to Connecticut again to visit family. The trip is quick to celebrate a couple of birthdays, but it’s means a little more than that to me.

Lorena and I completed a trip to Lake Tahoe (and Reno, NV). It was two purposed: to relax, and to see if we might be interested in moving there in the near future, as life in Texas is not really for us.

For a number of years now, I have had an urge to take contribute to a non-profit cause. The problem is, I can never land on where to dedicate time and money.

You ever get that feeling where you just need a break?

Today, I am grieving the loss of a special woman.

As of writing this, I have been studying Spanish for a year and a half. I’m so close to fluency, all I need is one more push!
