Am I a slacker? or what?

Don’t answer that question! I know, I know. I haven’t posted in months, and, to be honest, I don’t have a good excuse. I guess I just got a bit lazy. There isn’t that much going on these days. I am teaching a lot of classes — 27 hours per week! I get up atContinue reading “Am I a slacker? or what?”

Hello 2025!

God, I hope it is a better year than 2024. I have to say, though, it didn’t quite start out that way. So, since the hospital visit last year, I continued to have colds and asthma issues for some time. It was very frustrating. I felt good, but my voice was hoarse and I wasContinue reading “Hello 2025!”

The Adventures Continue

Photo: Lyn and Lisa along the Long Island Sound beach in Connecticut. It has been an exciting couple of months for me, and not all of it in a positive sense. Here’s the news!! Class Reunion As you remember, I went to Colombia at the end of September. While I was there, I caught aContinue reading “The Adventures Continue”

Adventures in Cali, Colombia

In September, I travelled to Cali, Colombia with my friends, the Brendas. The Brendas, as I call them, are mother-daughter and are both my friends. The younger, Brenda Italia, is a veterinarian and decided to take a one-month course in veterinary dermatology in Cali, so Brenda the mom decided to go along. I joined themContinue reading “Adventures in Cali, Colombia”

Springing into Spring

Pic: Me in my happy place. Got everything — sun, water, wine, … what more can you ask for? Things have been quiet the last few months, although not uneventful. Winter here is literally “a breath of fresh air.” January, February and March were truly lovely! The weather was warm during the day and coolContinue reading “Springing into Spring”

Puerto Escondido — Dec 2023

Better late than never, as they say! Here, finally, is the recap of my long weekend trip to Puerto Escondido with my students from Regulab.us, a company in Querétaro that I have worked with for the last four years. Each year, the owners of Regulab do something special as a “Posada” for their employees. AContinue reading “Puerto Escondido — Dec 2023”

Great Start to 2024!

I am making a commitment to writing more often this year, so watch out world! That said, I want to start out the new year by saying how grateful I am to all of my friends — new and old — for their presence in my life. You are the truest gifts! I am lookingContinue reading “Great Start to 2024!”

A week of Día de Muertos à la Mexico City — Part I

(Sharp transition from my last post.) Lyn and I just got back from a week in Mexico City (aka CDMX) where we went to the wedding of one of my students. Our very first Mexican wedding! What a joyous occasion and a lovely event. I even danced! Felicitades Arni y Alejandra, y gracias por laContinue reading “A week of Día de Muertos à la Mexico City — Part I”

Chunk 3: Tamasopo & San Luis Potosí

The saga continues… Our next stop was Tamasopo, which is known for its “cascadas” or waterfalls. As with those falls at the beginning of our trip, I expected these to be somewhat remote. I was wrong! In Tamasopo, the waterfalls are right on the road, easily accessible by car, and surrounded by conveniences such asContinue reading “Chunk 3: Tamasopo & San Luis Potosí”
