Raindrops on the window, have you watched them too?
My 22 year old, bi-lingual daughter wrote me. “Look what was on Twitter: Soy ese 99,9999999999999% que de pequeño se quedaba mirando las gotas de lluvia en el cristal del coche para ver como hacían carreras.” She says, “My translation: I’m one of the 99.9999999999999% who as a child sat looking at the raindrops on the […]
If there’s not time now, there won’t be time then
