A few nights ago, I was coasting through the Netflix menu looking for an appropriate babysitter for my 21 month old grandson, Jude, when I happened upon an exquisite marine documentary, “Under the Sea”.

It’s late Monday evening and I just returned from Costco here in Cabo San Lucas. Constantly enamored by the multi-faceted psyche of this stellar retailer, I mine their assortment wherever I happen to stumble upon one of their stores.
