Gratitude & Some Doing
To B.L., Mr. T.J., and Ms. S.J. Heaven knows this has been a long and stressful week, and all my artsy prose has failed me. I am left with whispy words of gratitude, but I give them to each of you none-the-less. THANK YOU, a thousand times over, each and every one of you for…

“I Don’t Like It”
And no, I’m not talking about the La Usurpadora reboot. Although if I were to be asked, I’d have to confess to thinking that Gabriela Spanic was pretty iconic as the twins in the production she starred in, and therefore no other Paola need apply. Sadly, as much as I’d rather be talking about plot…
