Opportunity Lost!!

I just returned from a very exciting Christmas adventure in Mexico and initially thought I'd expound on some issue or another, but I realized it was more important to describe my missed opportunity. Since I've been on the lazy man's program to learn Spanish - 25 years so far - I missed a genuine opportunity to listen to the ideas of two wonderful people who opened their home to me for Christmas dinner. And what a dinner it was! My hosts, a charming couple, are both specialists from a university. He a professor of Political Science, she a professor in Economics.
If only I could have forseen the honor of being in their home - perhaps I would have learned Spanish more earnestly.

RIP: Gerald Ford, James Brown, Valentin Elizalde, and Rebecca.
