Hispanic y Latino News/Info :: October 26th, 2009 Edition :: 5 Minutes to Empowerment
Tagged: summaryFor those of you who might not of heard, the lack of posting last week was due to the flu and its grip on me. This is by no means a complete edition but it is a restart after the illness although I might add there wasn’t as much easy picking news as I expected. Oh and if you want to take a look, I had to have a little fun with my return so I created a trypitic image of myself looking well ‘just up from a sickbed’ while I was posting today. – Gracias, Tomás
