My wife and I went out last night. We grabbed sushi and then went to the Red Sox game. It was a beautiful time to hit the ballpark (see above photo). Warm, slight breeze, and already a playoff-vibe among the high-energy crowd, as the Sox and the Rays compete to lead the division. It was

August 1, 2013February 1, 2014 Jo Tango

There’s a major and happy milestone for our family happening this week.  It made me think of my mother, and how grateful I am to her.  Though she has passed away (more here), I still think about her influence on me. So, I a few weeks ago wrote this letter. ——————————————————– Dear Mom, I am
