Patrice and I are well rested after many hours of uninterrupted, delicious sleep. Good thing, as we have a busy day with Scrabble, at Qulture, Bingo for the dogs at Nacho Daddy, a birthday party at La Catrina Cantina, followed by Angeloo‘s show at 8. On our way home, I want to stop to say…
A couple of days ago, on October 26, I spent some quiet time remembering my dear friend Allyna Vineberg. Two years ago, on the 26th, I saw her at her home for the last time; she would pass away mere weeks later. Her PV Mirror newspaper, which she founded almost 20 years ago, continues to…

Here we are, the last day of the rainy season in Vallarta. Tomorrow marks the 23rd anniversary of Hurricane Kenna, and the latest occurring ‘big event’ weather-wise in the 34 years I have lived here. Kenna gave us only her tail end as she flew by up to San Blas, where she made landfall and…

The Boys – Sebastian, Alex, Pedro, Angel, Woody, and their host and compadre, Nacho, obviously spent the last five months training like maniacs in the gym. Maybe not Nacho so…
I have a new word to use for last night’s weather as a couple of hundred of us squeezed onto the rooftop of Cuale, a chi-chi renovated condo hotel on Aquiles Serdan – S U L T R Y. Another rendition of hot and humid. Still, it has a flick-feeling to it, as in moving…
