My last couple of posts were sad stories about skin cancer. I figured I would switch it up for this post and relate something not slightly depressing… I’m switching roles in my company, which for me is very good news. I was getting really stressed reporting to a boss that had no clue on how to manage a team and… Read more »
I woke up the next morning and believe it or not, was happy to see the steady rain. It sounds ridiculous, right? But if I was planning on spending the entire day in a museum, I was glad not to have beautiful weather outside. My hotel was selected in part because of its proximity to the British Museum, just over… Read more »

It’s a music-lover’s nirvana, with all different genres of music – rock, rap, EDM, country, even kids’ music. I walked miles every day…. Read more »
This weekend, I made the trek down I-35 to San Antonio for a long-awaited concert – Ricky Martin. I had only been vaguely aware of Menudo (the boy band he was in way back in the day); but living in Miami in the 90’s, I had grown to be a fan of his Spanish language songs. When he released “Maria” –… Read more »
