Lost in Translation
My Spanish is improving, but it still isn’t quite the best. Sometimes I get hung up by a word or confused by some tricky conjugations, but generally I understand; at least, I think I understand.

The Runaway
There once was a boy, a 4-year-old boy, who on one happy day in November, turned 5. On this birthday he received a Box Turtle. A Box Turtle, they say, can live to be 100. In the boy's 5-year-old logic, he reasoned he had a friend until 105, at which point he'd have to find … Continue reading The Runaway
