Fall is here. Ya llegó el otoño – o la primavera, dependiendo de dónde estén. Tengan cuidado; el COVID-19 sigue por todos lados. 🙌🏽😷👍🏽 Creo que lo de las máscaras ya se calmó un poco (más vale prevenir que lamentar, after all), porque people were not getting the message that masks are like the easiest, […]
Right? It’s National Voter Registration Day, people. Alright, look alive, people – c’mon. Get! (We’ve had this discussion.) Register to vote. And Happy Birthday, kids! Oh, kids. I’m sure this time is totally not what you expected it was gonna be, but such is life. This is such a moment, though…history in the making. Be […]
Ding! A text from the East Coast. What a most modern way to learn, know, and understand that Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Notorious RBG, champion of women’s rights and equality, has passed away at age 87. Did American democracy die this evening, too? Moscow Mitch is already at it. As I live […]
Watching movies at home, to pass the time and learn more, something new…something we didn’t know, about the human experience, that is how we managed some of our season of self-isolation this most revelatory of years.

America’s PTSD is real, and it’s time we acknowledge as much, as a culture and as a melting pot. We the people make this country amazing. What can I tell ya, the sun is shining again on San Francisco. And I’ve been working on my shit. I left Lima for Miami 20 years ago last […]

Never forget that we are here right now. The past is in the past – it cannot happen to us again. Never forget to move forward.
Earth is showing us her true colors today. Just in time for the 2020 season. Waking up to this red day this morning was something. Today is something. It’s som’in’ new. It – a combination of that good ol’ Bay Area fog and trapped smoke, from the wildfires that have been burning this month out […]
The thing about Friends is the show said what it needed to say at the time it said it. It was clumsy; it was downright awful, sometimes (you know, how they said whatever they said, especially in later seasons); and it was, for the most part, fun. I first watched the show, fondly, in Peru, […]
For the record: It was a hot Labor Day weekend this 2020. One for the books. A friend who lives in L.A. was out and about on Saturday, and some time during the afternoon, she shared a temp pic (you know what that means…) showing it was 119 degrees out where she was down there. […]
