Because of a glitch involving e-mail settings, the aero-cordero.com website was out of commission for three or four days. The problem has been corrected and everything seems to be working okay now. The only blog I wrote during that time was posted yesterday and you should be able to see it immediately below this message.Continue reading “Oops…”

Yes, that’s a real word. I found it on a “Word-A-Day” calendar many years ago and immediately stored it in my twisted memory. It’s something that applies to J.Lo’s famous posterior.
