Welcome 2015

We inhabit a planet fraught with war, disease and famine. Such has always been and will always be. We live lives imbued with events ranging from minute to magnificent. (Ditto on the always be/always will be) What defines each beginning is the mix we place into our emotional/intellectual salad bowl for the balance of the year. No two years are alike since each is an evolution of those previously logged. Right? Just a thought.

Adventures with Teo-Adventuras con Teo

As of yesterday afternoon nine editions were online and available for purchase. The Teo Team (e.g. Dianne Risdon-illustrator, Erin Sorenson-editor, Alfredo Reyes-translator) deserves immense credit for breathing life into an undeveloped idea about a young boy, Teo, who experiences Yelapa each summer. Your support of our efforts is humbling and appreciated. These editions are available in fifty-one countries. Please continue to spread the word.

MEMO AWARDS 2014

These "awards" were launched three years ago as a tongue- in-cheek opportunity to feature many of my favorite food/service providers. There is no statistical analysis performed, no voting body to contend with and certainly no gold embossed envelopes to recycle. There is only I! (Yes, that is the correct grammar) New categories are added each year. Let's proceed.
