2 hours i will never get back…

Ok so realistically, time that has passed is time that we will never get back but the title is referring to something quite different from time passing us by.

sometimes we find ourselves in tucson…

This blog is in honor of Tracy Ummel, who just moved from Scottsdale to Tucson and who I consider a great friend… 
“For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s family will perish. And who knows but that you have come to royal position [...]
