The sound of rain woke me this morning, suddenly and with a jolt as I remembered the bunch of clothes I had washed and hung up to dry after our foray into the Mojoneras tianguis yesterday. By the time the dryer had finished, the rain had stopped too. Weird this time of year, the rain,…

The end of another week and month over these next couple of days; how was your Thanksgiving? Patrice and I talked about indulging in turkey with all the attendant goodies, but slid into some baked spaghetti from the air fryer instead. We get to keep our vegetarian badges for one more day! The cheesy carb…
Coapinole gave up loads of treasures for both Patrice’s and my closets yesterday. Patrice is so very good about rotating her clothes and donating things she has worn to her heart’s content, so she has room in her closet for new things. I can’t say the same. I overflowed my closet over a year ago…

A month or so ago, right after his 2025-26 opening of his show at The Palm Cabaret, I asked Roy Cruz if, after five years, he was getting tired or bored with Freddie Mercury and the music of Queen in his twice-weekly shows. He said, ”The more I research him and his life, the more…

‘Tease‘ returns to Coco Cabaret for a second season, with a new, mindblowing show.

The international…

I am thrilled with the latest capabilities at…
