My holiday to Miami
My bucket list vacation has come true to go to Miami and visit the city of my friend Willy Chirino and it was everything I thought that it would be and more. I saw the famous orange that is associated with Miami called Atomiko. When i was there was when they were welcoming soccer player Leoni Messi to the city and their soccer team. I thank my cousin for making the dream come true and she does make miracles happen. This is the end of the first part there will be more. I cannot wait to tell you all about me going to Miami.

The Smoking Room
There is another smashing and funny comedic sitcom that I found from the British Broadcasting corporation called "The Smoking Room". The plot and premise of the show is very simple it centers around a couple of employees of a company that does something which is never said what. All of the employees are hilarious and it takes a genius writer to capture the hilarity of things and situations that happen in the break room or the smoking room in this case. It only lasted for no more than 2 or 3 seasons and it was too smart for it's own good.

A Taste of London
There is a show on Recipe.TV called “A Taste of London” hosted by Chef Edward Delling- Williams. It is as the title of the show says the food of London and culture. Being a native of London Edward Delling-Williams on the subject of London and the food. I love to watch a taste of London anytime it’s on. I would even watch reruns of it even if I’ve seen the episode before because it’s so enjoyable. I also like Edward Delling- Williams. He’s a personal host of the show one of my favorite cooking show personalities.

Speakers Corner
Speakers Corner in London is another cultural note and place of interest that I had discovered in the United Kingdom. Of all the places and ways to learn about it was from one of my favourite shows "Married With Children". They had Al and the rest of the Bundy family go the Speakers corner. It was perfect to have Al speak at Speakers corner because the corner anyone can go there and speak about whatever is bothering them or that has been on their minds. Whoever was on the MWC writing staff that decided to have Al go to Speakers corner is a genius.

Climbing Mount Masada
The sun had barely crested the horizon when my Canadian friend, Freddy, and I tightened the straps on our packs and set off toward the base of Mount Elazar. The air felt still and almost sacred, as if the desert was quietly breathing before the day began. My boots crunched over gravel and loose stone as we found an easy rhythm, our shadows long and lean in the rosy morning light.

Seattle Nightlife Report: Pony. Top Story - January 2026.
Mid-winter Friday night. Early but already so dark. The days are getting longer but 6 PM is still pitch black. “Firepit!” You declare things after just a few seconds of solemn thought – not a request or suggestion, not a demand. Last week you walked around saying, “Hot tub?” to anyone who would listen. Or one afternoon you pointed at two men holding hands as they crossed 12th Avenue, looked me in the eyes and said, “Boyfriends.”

City thrice holy
My visit to Israel in the 1990s felt like a homecoming. Don’t ask me why. A quick tour of Jerusalem took in many historic and religious sites. Not least the excavations beside the Western (or Wailing) Wall. Here, becloaked scholars read ancient Hebrew scrolls, praying with their voices, hearts, minds and bodies. Here, Roman street divides modern office and apartment blocks. Here, east meets west, Jew lives alongside Arab. Here the most holy of Christian monuments has a church that is bisected by a line cutting through two walls, floor, ceiling and alter. One side Catholic, the other Greek Orthodox.

Absolved of All Sins!
We went on a day trip to Armenia with my son and friend Katie to explore its apostolic monasteries. Our first stop, Akhtala Monastery, had a monument to Armenian-Georgian friendship in the form of two rings joined by a pomegranate, the national fruit of both countries.
