It is possible I might not have time to post blogs for about a week or so, after this blog, that is. It all sorta depends on how things go in Mexico and how much time I have because my clients come first. The rest of you can all yammer about how your family comes first, but my family comes first by putting my clients first. Why do I feel like I'm moving into Portlandia territory,  Women and Women First, ha, ha. I finally saw the episode of how that phrase supposedly originated.The point is WiFi is a precious commodity when it works well in certain countries, and I won't have all the time in the world to be online when my main purpose for being in Mexico is to visit with the Monarch butterflies.
