After living in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico for the past 5 years, last Spring I decided that I had to stop playing Spanish Charades and learn to speak the language.

Crossing the Hudson River in New York several times a week to ferry my grandson back and forth, I have watched as the new Tappan Zee Bridge has risen from its concrete foundation to dwarf the original span now destined for demolition.
