I spent the afternoon today on the beach in Cabo San Lucas, ruminating somewhat about the subject for today’s blog and what might be appropriate. I know that many of my readers, particularly in the Northeast are still reeling from the ramifications of Hurricane Sandy. It’s a fine line between dealing with Sandy’s rampage and the need to move on. Even Cabo has been hit by unexpected storms this year. … Read More

We are in a swim mode today at Lingerie Briefs (check out our Curvy Briefs blog: Swimwear Daydreams). Writer, Lindsey, an LA native might not be aware of the chilly autumn days we are having in the Northeast. I, on the other hand, am more likely inspired by the fact that I depart in one week for my home in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and my partner … Read More
A few weeks ago I met my brother on a rainy Sunday in New Haven for a lunch meeting that went awry. We decided to make the best of it by visiting the Yale University Art Museum. I knew we would find an aesthetic gem somewhere inside. And there is was: the Murals of Bonampak, in replica, on the gallery’s walls. This Mayan artwork, discovered in 1946 in a remote … Read More
