Riled Up
I am not one who typically engages in political discussions because they can get so heated and personal and often times, no minds are changed among those arguing but… the events of the past couple of days has riled me up more than usual. I simply want you to think about the following: the issues […]
New Blog – The Social Toad
In case you didn’t know, I have started another blog where I will ruminate on my thoughts and experiences as social media manager. Go check it out if you are interested! The Social Toad
Experiencing Cuba as an Habanero, not as a Tourist
I wrote up a short travel essay about my trip last year to Cuba. It was published at the end of last year over at the travel website DIWYY so I decided to post it here as well… Here is the essay in its entirety. Slideshow from my entire trip is at the very end […]
Thirty-nine.
Another year has gone by and last Thursday, I entered the last year in my thirties. It was a quieter birthday than most years… Kenny and I haven’t even technically gone out for my birthday dinner yet because we have been busy with other events on our calendar. It didn’t help that I was sick […]
How I’d Teach My Kid to Drive
This is another totally random thought process I do – when I drive, I randomly think of driving tips I’d give my imaginary teenage child as they learn to drive. I know, I’m crazy, so what’s your point? And no, I am not the world’s greatest driver. I have been in accidents, both my fault […]

If I were president…
Over the past years I have collected (in my mind) random ideas that I would implement if I were president. OK, I know legally the president couldn’t put many of these into affect but you get my drift… So if I were president… > Large event centers would be required to have twice as many […]
R.I.P. Louis Alten
Last week a friend of ours passed away after a tragic skiing accident. Louis had grown up skiing and was experienced, it was simply a freak accident with no explanation. No blame to be had by anyone. It has made me more contemplative than usual though. He was only 39, 6 months younger than my […]

Dusting this blog off…
