Today, I decided to take a quick
run through the Puerto Paraiso in downtown San Lucas. This mall is situated at the Marina, a mecca for detainees from the cruise ships that anchors in the bay for a day of shopping in Los Cabos. I could not help my curiousity even though the whole tourist thing is not my style. I guess it was the merchant in me, but I … Read More
I am a bit late this week with my blog but things slow down in Cabo, and I just could not muster up the creative juices after arriving here Saturday. Once I had downed my customary first night Margarita and Green Chile Soup at the marina, I was already elsewhere and not in a computer state of mind.

Less we forget how the men in our lives became dads; I might suggest that one could make an argument for lingerie as the best possible celebration of your significant other on this particular holiday.

This season, however, I find myself more focused than usual as the recently unknown stallion, I’ll Have Another, races for the Triple Crown. Surely … Read More
When I was a teenager, I was obsessed with the Archie comic book series. I would sneak down to the Chateau Drug store two blocks from the house, spend all my allowance on Betty and Veronica dailies and hide them under the mattress before my mother came home. I was supposed to be doing my homework. At least she didn’t mind my dalliance during the summers. I was allowed to … Read More
