Just a Thought

I always try to keep this blog fun and entertaining, but tonight I just have to get something off my chest.

I have learned in my meager 31 years of life that money and a knowledge of the finer things in life does not necessarily buy class nor my respect. Some who you feel should have both, have neither. And that's all I'm going to say about that.

Confused with all the Economy Talk?

I.O.U.S.A is a candid look at the history of the US financials since the very beginnings of our country up to what will happen in the future if we continue down the same path. This video above is a 30 minute condensed version of the documentary. Check it out! You can get more information here as well.

The Party

Friday night was one for the books. Edgar celebrated his 35th with good friends, good food, and good times. We started the evening at Sabor restaurant, filling up on Latin inspired dishes, including empanadas and sweet plantains. After singing happy birthday around a blazing, heavenly strawberry/vanilla/cream cake, we headed to Lucky Voice. Lucky Voice is a private karaoke bar with small rooms accommodating different numbers of people. So, you can sing your heart out and only make a fool of yourself around the people you know. We sang for 2 1/2 hours and probably could have sang for 2 more. They kicked us out of our room, despite begging for "just one more", so we decided to cap the evening with mojitos at a Cuban bar down the road. The taxi pulled into Richmond around 3:30am Saturday morning, thankfully leaving us a full weekend to recover. How will I top this next year?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EDGAR!!

You are my oldie but goodie.

Venice is Flooded

This is what it looks like today in front of the Doge's Palace in St. Mark's Square.

And this is how it's supposed to look.
