The day Master died
Today is a sad day indeed. The first thing I was reading this morning was a Facebook message from my good friend, Oscar: “Hey buddy, did you see the news?”. I didn’t know what it was all about so I checked news channels first, slowly waking up and taking first sips of the coffee. As…
