Oh, here we go again. Point that finger, walk around and give that smirk a workout. Yes, I am watching the debate. The gloves are off. They are jabbing and punching: Metaphorically-speaking of course. Although, they have come quite close to each other a few times there on […]
In Observation of National Latino AIDS Awareness Day During my college tenure the United States had its first Hispanic Surgeon General, who also happened to be the first woman to ever hold that position. Unfortunately, I was so immersed in my studies and overall college experience that I did […]

Spring cleaning has been all the rage for centuries. The spring equinox brings with it a crisp air tinged with a promise of warmth to come. During the 19th century in America, the month of March was considered the best time for dusting because it was getting […]
