The girl was 5. She adorably demanded, “What are you reading?” He was happy to see his happy neighbor, so he smiled big at her curiosity and so, he said, “A book about an apartment. On further thought…. “A book about an apartment in Paris.” “Why⁉️” she asked without missing a beat. (Bet it sounded in […]
It was 10 years ago this weekend, when the powers that be relaunched the Fontainebleau Miami Beach with a star-studded weekend of celebration that included a Victoria’s Secret fashion, which itself featured Usher. I was there to cover the fun for Us Weekly as a stringer on the ground. I remember: I was there Friday […]
Well aren’t I glad I didn’t spend my money on the midterms. The running idea was to support non-insane, worthy-of-continued-nurture-and-guidance candidates in Georgia, Florida, and Texas (and anywhere else such a person was running) – nothing for California because California didn’t need my jack – but, in the end, I didn’t invest in that way because […]
Both make the people come together. America, bourgeoisie and rebel, sing yourself some of Madonna’s “Music” on your way to the polls this Nov. 6 – tomorrow! – but replace “Music” with “Voting. Go and cast a vote not only for yourself but for your friends and family, as well as your community. A good thing […]
Oh the things you see when you go out to walk your dog…. The happy things you see when you’re out with your dog. This is the San Francisco I like. The one I loved seeing yesterday, on the fifth Oct. 4 I’ve spent in the City by the Bay. The one that shows up […]

But I very much care about what’s going on in the United States of America because this country […]
Last week, I answered one of Madonna’s tweets, and her Music has been playing at home ever since. No music, no fun. No fun, no life. Repeat it like a mantra.
This happened three weeks ago tomorrow – but it may as well have happened last night or it may as well happen tonight. One for the books, I tell ya. One of my cousins was in town from L.A. for work, so we agreed to meet for burgers on Fillmore. He was staying in the […]
Late last month I saw something on Twitter that made me sad. LOL. A darling friend from Miami – we went to see Madonna perform during one of the DVD nights of her “MDNA Tour” (so we tight) – was lamenting her teenaged son’s first day back in school, as she noted that Rudy Giuliani’s […]
Pasear por el #BarrioChino de #SanFrancisco hace unas semanas luego me hizo pensar en los amigos venezolanos que han dejado #Venezuela por esta u otra razon. Bastantes han arrivado en #Peru, mi pais de nacimiento; conoci a algunos la ultima vez que estuve en #Lima, en enero. Todos – jovenes, con familias – ejercian el trabajo que […]
