There was this time in college when a guy I didn’t know and I were paired as a team for our Physics Lab class. On the first lab, I started doing what I usually do: I grabbed the experiment instructions, read them for myself, and started manipulating the mechanical object we were supposed to work […]

Joining Joey in his late 30s and Jennifer in her early 30s, today I have experienced my first episode as an old fart…
For those that don’t know me very well, I should say that I am a poker-face scorpion, cold and smooth velvety thing that rarely se despeina when upset or frustrated. HOWEVER… in a […]

OUCH!… Where did that come from?…
A slap surprises you, humiliates you, hurts, and makes you wonder. But not all slaps are made equal: Some hurt to tears, some make you angry. In any case, a slap can be identified by the relentless presence of the aggressor in my thoughts for a long time. I repeat: […]

I must confess I feel a little guilty that I haven’t written much this month. I’m alive — for those that wonder and have emailed me to ask… It’s just been a little busy with work and two personal projects that have grown out of proportion, and have joined forces to become a huge beast. […]

Maybe I’m weird, too attached, or not completely centered in the present, but one thing that is true about me is that I have a constant dormant nostalgia for the past… For my past. I can live and function normally not longing for younger years, love my husband and my current life, and then, I’ll […]

If you’ve been reading this site lately, you may have noticed that I’ve been recently consumed by the topic of copyright protection. Now that I have embarked on a personal project to share our wedding photos with friends and family via the Internet, these two topics are quickly coming together and spinning at rapid velocity […]

Last Friday, Joey and I celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary. For a while I had been hoping that to celebrate the occasion, I would finally attack that big project that has been on my to-do list for the last… uhhh… five years. That is: Digitizing all wedding photos and mementos and making the nice wedding […]

Lorelle’s latest blogging challenge is to write about your hobbie. While I don’t intend to give you all the nitty gritty about the many activities I enjoy doing with my free time, this topic ties nicely with a subject I’ve been wanting to write about for some time now: This post is about two special […]

I am so completely shocked, this probably won’t be a very well thought-out post…
For some reason I was just reading some of the old comments left on this site, and when I got to the post I wrote about some artists I met at the Utah Arts Festival, for no reason at all, I clicked […]

It only takes a second or less to have your life dramatically changed, doesn’t it?
Monday night, at about 8 pm the phone rang… English being my second language, I still have a hard time with the beginning words of strangers on the phone, so I didn’t really understand who this person was, but he was […]

The last time we visited Joey’s family in Houston, Sharon (Joey’s mom), Joey and I were discussing the latest news about a new war starting in the Middle East. After I articulated some hot sports opinions, we got engaged in a very interesting discussion.
I was saying that if I could choose a parallel universe, and […]

This is a postcard I received two months ago from my doctor in Dallas reminding me of my annual checkup.
Being now in a different city, and given our self-imposed deadline to start trying for a baby, this meant several “awful” things for me: 1) I needed to find a new doctor and make an appointment; […]
