Postcard from Miami
Florida gets a hard time for being Florida. As someone who used to catch flack for loving Los Angeles, I always try to give new places the benefit of the doubt. Though I had visited Orlando as a child, and brought our son when he turned eight, it doesn’t count. Orlando is not a taste of Florida but a Baptism by Disney. Miami always seemed cool from a distance. The art deco hotels on the beach,…

The Big Easy in RVA
The Big Easy in RVA
Being a meteorologist in New Orleans is like being a Pilates instructor in LA. You are at the epicenter of where it all happens. My dear friend Michelle got the opportunity of a lifetime when offered a job to be a meterologist at the CBS station in New Orleans: WWL-TV. I had to throw her a going away party. I wish I could have whipped up some cajun-style finger foods, or a giant pot of crawfish…

Inspiration in Quarantine
I hope this post finds people in good spirits, though it’s a rainy Monday. In a quarantine. I think it’s a perfect excuse to catch up on my reading and face-mask game, but I want to be sensitive to how other people are feeling during this time.
Some people have lost loved ones to Covid-19, while others are struggling with being so isolated. Many are still working full-time from home while trying…

Party, Interrupted
This Saturday my son turns six. Like many people achieving milestones during this time, things are unusual. While some adults are too cool for themed parties, one of the perks of having children are shameless, over-the-top themes. And I am here for it.
Hamilton had his heart set on a Batman-themed party, so that’s what he’s going to get. Only during the summer. To make up for the wait, we are…
