Words and food in San Antonio, Texas.

@MayraABC13 I grew up on the SE side of Houston in the 70s and 80s and felt like I had no choice but to anglicize my name. I didn't start saying it right until I was in my 30s and had moved to San Antonio. I admired Elma, even if I didn't have the courage to pronounce my name correctly.

@KoltenParker @ksatnews Congrats, my friend!

@TheMontereySA My favorite line: “Let’s just say he didn’t win a bunch of friends with his attitude,” - I’m sure the delicate souls of MVHA just couldn’t handle you telling them the truth.

@TheMontereySA @COSAGOV Un f--ing believable. I get that the city would be upset they weren't asked first, but making you take it down is beyond insane. Is there anything that @COSA_CD1 can do to help?

@ramit A slightly different take -- I can afford to hire people to make repairs on my house and usually do, but sometimes I enjoy fixing things myself. It's a fun diversion. Having a Rich Life means being able to choose your activities.

Totally agree with Pope Francis on this one!

@AKWeissman @mySA We do too! But we now live just north of the JCC.

@cleija3 Now how do we encourage assimilated Latinos to celebrate and learn more about their heritage? I have some ideas and plan to share them over the coming months. 4/4

@cleija3 My native-speaker wife and I spoke to our son only in Spanish for his first couple of years and then English won over when he went to preschool. He’s in high school now and we’re talking about putting him in an immersion program in Mexico or Spain so he can gain fluency… 3/4

@MMedinanews @MMedinanews @scottbraddock I just want to commend you both for showing how to disagree respectfully even on social media.

@BillyCalzada @ExpressNews @NPPA Congratulations on a great run. It was always an honor when your photos elevated my stories.

“Truth is good for kids” Exactly!

[Dr. Julie Gurner @drgurner]

This is exactly right.

[Edmund Tijerina @etij]

@MaddySkye Gotta gave your standards. I learned salsa and merengue for my wedding reception and we’re about to hit 17 years. Must have worked!

[Edmund Tijerina @etij]

Absolutely love this.
