2010 has been a roller coaster year for me. As Charles Dickens once wrote, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of [...]

Before all the festivities are over, Before all the yummy food has been devoured, Before all the alcohol is poured and the opus x cigars all smoked, Lemme all just wish you a happy, happy Christmas! May all your dreams come true, may all your wishes be granted, but most of all may all your [...]

I think it’s no secret I hate cold weather, right? These past few days have been exceptionally cold so it’s wearing out my internal resources… Whenever I feel this way, I trek to the beach. I need to be in a place where there’s lots of bright warm sunshine and for some reason, that permeates [...]

Like I said in my previous post, ushering in December left me sort of teetering on edge so I did the one thing I knew best to do when I would feel unsettled, confused and stressed out: I took a road trip. Last time I did that, I had a very deep and personal conversation [...]

Okay, okay, I know this is a random rant…and that while I’m no surgeon, I too don’t really need a knight in shining whatever because I do the saving and err…I can do my own saving but but but….tonight I so want one to just make things better. Today I had to go get my [...]
