Life through the Green Dog lens. Secrets of a bilingual outsider scratching the surface of life in search of the Truth
Some people are meant to stand out. They aren't supposed to meekly follow the herd, but to lead the way along the rough and tumble road to the future. Their place is at the front of the line, where they are first to take a step, first to take a fall, first to get up... Continue Reading →
