As tired as I was over a sleepless night —horrified after reading José Enrique Gómez’s murderer’s description of his vicious and vile death and deeply concerned about Puerto Rico’s present and future — I couldn’t miss our standing high-school monthly dinner, especially because two of my very best friends from school were in town.
