Dear Reader,
This morning while greeting school children and their families, commuters and workers, I struggled with some Spanish, for a Latino man who simply wanted to know my name. I felt terrible, and shared my story with my dear friend Yanin Ontiveros who kindly and humorously shared her similar experiences in English, which made me feel better. Here is what I wrote to her in reply:
Querida [Dear] Yanin,
You made me feel much better! Gracias! [Thank you!]
What we have out there is kind of a 1969 San Francisco love-in, and fist bumping, and waves and shout-outs.
Por Supuesto Soy Un Poco Loco! [Of course I am a little crazy!] But then you knew that! So do they!
Feliz [Happy] 5 de Mayo!
Con Cariño [With Affection] - Dick
