We went snorkeling yesterday at Chileno Bay. Daily, tourist groups are brought there to explore the reefs for which this cove is known. Here in the southern Baha, the ocean is very clear near the shore. Floating face down in these warm Mexican waters is somewhat of a transcendent experience. Beneath the surface, the sunlight creates an undulating translucence simulating a 3D movie. The fish, each a unique color and … Read More
Today there are 3 cruise ships anchored in the harbor. I can see them from my hillside deck, miniature behemoths besieging the seascape. Close up and beachside, the scope of even one of these multi-deck ships belies the imagination. They used to bother me, invading the romance of the Cabo shoreline and distorting the aquatic view.

I can lie … Read More

Still, to this day, it is the most read blog, without exception, in our literary stable. Stats don’t lie; they inform. There is … Read More
I have crossed some spectacular bridges in my life, but none quite as unique as the historic Brooklyn Bridge. Its hybrid cable stayed suspension construction sets it apart from its counterparts creating a magnificent display of wires that lift the eye upward. At the time it was built, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world, engineered with an open truss system reinforcing it to six times the strength … Read More
When we were children, my grandmother would travel east from Ohio to visit us in NY staying several weeks in my brother’s bedroom. He moved in with me next door and both of us shared the bathroom with Sylvia. One of our favorite pastimes was to peak into the shower where her lingerie was hanging to dry.
