My Cup of Tea – All Things Considered
  • Daddy Issues

    Let me tell you a funny story that happened last Sunday. On Saturday night, I had some friends over for a little birthday celebration. We had a few drinks, and we stayed up late. The next morning, my daughter Roberta tried to wake me up, but I couldn’t open my eyes. Then she “whispered” (note…

  • With a Little Help From My Friends

    With a Little Help From My Friends

    Ten days ago I received the most amazing treat: my lifelong friends came from Mexico to LA to visit me. I couldn’t believe my luck. About two months ago, we started talking about organizing a trip for when we all turned 40 next year (yes, with this group here we MUST plan a year in…

If you’ve visited my Instagram profile or if you’ve met me, you know that I am a spoiled traveler. Yes, guilty as charged. I am, and I…

  • When That Book Finds You

    When That Book Finds You

      I love to read. I’ve liked stories from a very young age. My mom would play audiobooks for me, and I’d listen to them over and over until I memorized every word. Later on, I learned to read, and a new world opened up to me. I fell in love with words. Every Saturday…
