” More reliably than anything else on earth, the road will force to live in the present.” Over my cold!  Started Spanish class today.  It was fun!  My French accent gets in the way some, but overall I wasn’t as bad as I thought I’d be.  My main concern is actually speaking.  My understanding is […]
