I love to travel, try new foods, ingest caffeine, and watch political news coverage. A psychologist by training trying to bring a little common sense to it all.
Although I am Puerto Rican, I personally have yet to truly celebrate Three King’s day; which is the last of the 12 days of Christmas. For some, Three Kings Day, or Epiphany, is one of the most important holidays on the Puerto Rican calendar. As it is, many […]
When I was a kid, I used to watch everyday the television game The Price is Right. It was a bit of a fantasy for me. I would watch the show and dream of both the small and grand prizes. For the longest time, I dreamt of living […]
I am ostensibly a data geek. Apparently always have been. Although, at times it has been by default. Take for instance when I worked at the US Department of Justice. I could add, I could create graphs and I could (more or less) explain the numbers. Bingo. I […]
This year I flew more than 40,000 miles. I flew countless of flights and was delayed more times than I can count or remember. This year, started using waze (the gps app) in order to figure out how to get around Los Angeles in a quicker manner. By […]

My son’s big day is here. It is Chrismukkah! (Is there an emoji for that?) My son has been counting down for weeks now. And he is beyond ecstatic. Besides being happy to get his gifts, he also reminded us that Christmas is about family and […]
I have to admit to something. I did not watch Star Wars as a kid when it first came out. I actually didn’t watch Star Wars (any of the three original ones) until I was in college. I also had never seen Its a Wonderful Life until I […]
