Many, many years ago, in the kooky land of Washington, DC, I worked for the federal government. It was a time of great turmoil in which a president rued the day he laid hands on a certain blue dress. It was a time in which the various sectors […]
My name is Luka. L.U.K. A. I’m four years old and I just visited Italy with my mom and dad. They are pretty cool people, although they are an itsy bitsy obsessed with having me experience the world. Perhaps you read my past guest blog entries on Japan […]
As I was walking past a store in Rome, I came across a storefront that just made me giggle although no one else around me seemed to laugh as well. Granted I have a strange sense of humor. But really, no me else noticed the storefront window? Here […]
I am going to be upfront with you: it has rained nearly every day that I have been in Italy and I am unapologetically a New Yorker. What does this prefacing mean? I don’t have sun-colored glasses on and I believe with every core of my being New […]

The sun was shining brightly this Sunday morning and I could not help but murmur to myself “and let there be light.” Just last night I changed time zones, returning to East Coast time, gaining an hour to just end up losing it again at 2am this Sunday. Why […]
The last few days, well, the last few weeks I have been mumbling to myself “this too shall pass.” The Urban Dictionary definition “A phrase that seems to simply state the obvious but actually implies helplessness.” Sometimes your workload can be so excruciatingly heavy that you cannot see […]
