    We just returned from Las Vegas with Tammy & Craig. The heat was heating, up to 40 degrees several days, which is super hot especially for this time of year. We spent lots of time at the pool, I love the pool. I went there each morning. Christopher did not once come to the pool,…

    It’s Valentine’s Day. We have our annual double date with Tammy & Craig. We are going to the Victor and then we gamble at the casino. Perhaps a jackpot is in the future. I’m not sure what to wear tonight. It’s a beautiful day, it’s sunny, cold. I went for a walk this morning around…

    Happy Mother’s Day. I called my mom today, she’s such an amazing woman. She’s resilient, strong, kind, caring, loving, funny. She chooses to see positivity amidst chaos that she’s been through. I’m happy she’s my mom. I’m grateful for the things she has shared with me about her life. I love you, mom. Dear Pedro,…
