It is early on Friday morning. I’m hoping I can post something while I’m at the radio this morning. I won’t have a chance again until Monday, since this afternoon I leave for El Aguan for a weekend of workshops on political formation with a team from ERIC (Team for Reflection, Research and Communication).
