My mate and I recently took a 4 week vacation. While I was trepidatious to be away from my practice (and our sweet pup) that long, we were both looking forward to escaping the constant news of the party shenanigans.   Well, not so easy.  America is, unfortunately, the talk of the world, and not in a good way.
