Apologies for not having any recent postings -- I'm in hiatus right now, doing a lot of "apostolic" work in Boston, spending a few months with my daughter and her family, who recently welcomed the latest addition to their family, my second "apo" (Tagalog for grandchild), Max Andres. I'll be back soon - thanks for your understanding.

[Note:  back home in the Philippines, a grandma who helps look after a grandchild, or "apo," is said to be doing "apostolic" work.]
