I walked by this building a few times between my hotel & another identical hotel, and wondered what it was. There are tons of skyscrapers in Miami, el capital de cuba. Some random observations on Miami:
- Lots of Haitian cab drivers that speak Creole. Creole, to me, is like learning French. Some of it sounds [...]

Ah, if only I’d had this over the last 10 years!
I got this from a t-shirt blog. There’s no logic to why I’m reading a t-shirt blog, except that I am on a quest for the perfect t-shirt. This would be very long, light soft material, interesting neckline (not too high!), slightly fitted, and something [...]

Strangely enough got these from an email marketing colleague.

About a year ago I decided to embrace the many years I’ve been dating, instead of sweeping them under the rug. I was at Stella’s on Columbus- home of a beautiful, simple, sweet Opera cake- [...]
I’m recovering slowly from being sick, and strangely one or two things really stood out as what I miss most about being healthy. How, when you’re healthy, you don’t really think about your health. I mean, you do, but not as #1 important thing going on in every moment– that self-consciousness about your body [...]

I have been in back to back meetings with some visitors from Holland (hej!) and last night at Golden Gate Perk- the best downtown wi-fi laptop cafe (rivals Ritual because you can get bulgogi!) I demo’d my Business Idea for them. I realized how much of it still needs work, it’s like one inch forward [...]
