Let’s establish a few facts from the outset. I’m Puerto Rican. Am a New Yorker. I’m superstitious. And, I’ve visited many a “botanica” in my days. What is a Botanica? Well, there are many in New York. As a matter of fact, there is one right across tbe […]
This is a sad post for me to write. I used to be a big fan. But now, I’m beyond annoyed. I am over Uber. Now, mind you I rely on Uber for a lot. I don’t drive. Never have. I didn’t even drive when I lived in […]
A cold, cold heart can sting a tearless set of eyes. At times, a betrayal or a disappointment can wreck you yet not tears can flow from your eyes. The eyes are dried out as if they were prunes. They hurt to itch and rub. However, you rub […]
I love, love, and love Halloween. I still get a new costume each year. Last year, I was the Queen of Hearts. This year I’m going to be Beatrix Kiddo, AKA the Bride in Kill Bill. You know that Tarantino movie with Uma Thurman. She wakes up from […]

The air is extremely thick. Choking, even. The critters are making all sorts of noises perhaps sounding the alarm. One’s face has a special glow with no cited source for the hue. Need to sleep. But here again come the memories. The rain promises to clean up the […]
Look, I’m a diehard New Yorker. I don’t drive. I love pierogies and bagels. I can walk for hours on end. Yet, lately I’ve been holding onto my pepper spray a little tighter and have been glad to wear a mask. Let’s start with the latter. New York […]
I’m going to start off with a silly tidbit. Humor me. The past few years, I went from loving the color pink and living it to loving and living the color orange. It’s actually not a silly tidbit. Colors have deep meaning for many of us. As a […]
This may come off sounding strange but here it goes. I like going to cemeteries. Even when I travel abroad or even domestically, I visit a cemetary (albeit often of note). There is a weird sense of tranquility and beauty seeing the names of those long gone. Seeing […]
