They are skilled beyond humanly possible. Secretive. Into privacy and anonymity. They are a covert group of tight-knit mercenaries with a mysterious inability to die, men and women who have fought to protect the mortal world for centuries, OK. They are The Old Guard, and they are led by Oscar winner Charlize Theron, and they […]
As the COVID-19 pandemic, caused by a novel and deadly coronavirus that spread out of China during the winter, thrusts us well into Month 3 of a generalized global shutdown, I thought I’d check in on some of the people I’ve met along the way, my community. I’ve lived in three cities across two countries […]
No es más que un hasta luego, no es más que un breve adiós…. Cuídense. Nos vemos pronto. XO ✌🏽
It was so good to see and hear Bad Bunny encourage the Class of 2020 this evening. Twenty-five years ago I would go to my French school every day, then, after class and stuff at home, I’d watch a ton of American TV. The same shows y’all probably watched back then. It helped me pick up […]

Don’t go getting any ideas about summer. How ever could we have known that spring season’s arrival was on notice 10 weeks and a day ago, when I started to reflect on what I would want to teach the kids – my nieces and nephews – about life, love, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. […]
Dearly beloved, #Iclosemyeyes…and we’re back at the train station in Salerno, on our way to celebration in Rome. It’s rainy, and remarkably quiet for a while, but then again, it is middle of the day on a Wednesday. There’s thunder and lightning. It’s almost August, after all. É uno spettacolo italiano d’estate. And I can’t wait […]
