As I write this, Hurricane Irene has been downgraded to a tropical storm, leaving a path of destruction behind her. Here at VivirLatino headquarters, in lovely Queens, NYC, there has been lots of wind, lots of rain, and lots of leaking but we have power and are grateful for our safety. We are hoping that all of you readers who have dealt with, are dealing with, or will be dealing with the storm, are also safe and have what you need.
