During Superstorm Sandy, us New Yorkers experienced a level of unease that was peripherally related to the storm. Our trains stopped working. And they stopped working for a while. How could that be, we would all thought. The subway system is part of our lifeline, it courses through […]
Did you know that November 14 was National Guacamole Day? Although, I had no clue that was the case, I enjoyed a good (except for the whole shellfish allergy thing – basically if I hear about shellfish I swell up, let alone eat anything that touched shellfish) Mexican cocktail lunch hour. […]
Latinos helped re-elect President Obama and Latinos will vastly propel the horror and paranormal film genres forward. My mom used to watch horror films every other weekend in the movie theater (when we had disposable income). We would stay up late to watch horror films on late night television. She […]
After seven days without power due to Superstorm Sandy, I got my electrical power back. It just also happens to coincide with President Obama winning re-election in an electoral college landslide. All the pundits and their punditry were off either purposefully or naively in the hopes of hyping […]

Each day post Sandy, I have spent either freezing, searching for charging stations or making my way to multiple hotels across state lines. Throughout my post Sandy experience, has been the adventure of trying to get a team back to New York and trying to get the office […]
I have been without power now 96 hours. I have slept in the cold dark house at night and I have now slept in two different hotels. Moving hotels as at times there is only one room available for a night. If that’s all they got, that’s what […]
I have been stranded by hurricanes in the past. During Hurricane Isaac I was stranded In Curacao. With my boredom with the non-stop frolicking on the beach, I went searching across the country for a lighthouse. What a glorious adventure that eventually ended with me not finding a […]
Dear future me: Today, October 30-the day after frankenstorm, I am hunkered down in the local library’s children section surrounded by stir-crazy kiddies, glazed-eyed adults and strewn-about power cords. Everyone watching that percentage icon on their electronics. My nails are bitten down to the core, my belly is […]
