Lucky to visit Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 where I took this breathtaking photo.
Reading "War Against All Puerto Ricans: Revolution and Terror in America's Colony" by Nelson Denis. The truth of the horrors committed against them by the US is the stuff of nightmares.
Possible reflections on my reading coming.

Realizing "my type" is "Has strong opinions about musical cast recordings"

I'm proud to be in bed (and stand) with the local teachers' unions. They are the ones who know best how to educate the children of tomorrow. Oh, and since I know you are wondering... the sex is amazing.
