I sent this to my wife and kids today.  It's a really good reminder not to put too much faith in politics.  Considering it is election day here in the USA, this is a good article to read.  ...

It's been a while since I have posted on my site.  Because... reasons. So, I am trying to get back to posting on a more regular schedule. This is a quick update for those in the Second Year Latin by Robert Henle class. We have been working our way through the...
