You 鈥淣eed鈥� to stay at the Villa d鈥橢ste
I recently saw a Travel and Leisure’s article Ten Best Italian Resorts. The Villa d鈥檈ste was #10. I have been lucky enough to stay in eight of the resorts on the list over the years. And to me, the one you 鈥淣eed鈥� to stay at is the Villa d鈥橢ste. The others are 鈥榤erely鈥� spectacular Italian […]
Sam Smith Unholy Performance
So Sam Smith did a performance that will forever remain in the minds of people. This ‘unholy’ singer appeared in a devil costume while performing at the 2023 Grammy awards and boy! When I say it caused an uproar, I mean exactly that. I’m not sure what I feel about it. As an artist, I […]
Black Panther 2: Wakanda Forever
First and foremost, a moment of silence in honor of Chadwick Boseman ( in other words, T’Challa). His death was truly heartbreaking and left such a huge gap in the back panther family. This sequence movie even paid tribute to Chadwick, and it was the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. So anyway, this […]
2023’s first Rom Com – Not cute and no cigar!
Jonah Hill and Kenya Barris must have thought they were tackling an overlooked cultural issue and doing it with a fresh twist but alas and alack, this is not the case. This is a story that has been around forever and this attempt brings nothing new to the dialogue. Yes, the script/storyline has some clever […]
Gentle Parenting Sets Unrealistic Expectations on Parents and It鈥檚 Time to Stop
I was brought up in a strict household, sometimes a bit too strict. The level of strictness sometimes felt unnecessary and conjured as a way of relieving stress. If you grew up with authoritarian parents, you know exactly what I mean. This kind of style meant that you never questioned what went on. Your main […]
Is this a movie or an LSD trip? Hard to tell!
Everything, Everywhere, All At Once is a supremely complicated Timothy Leary-esque LSD trip! As convoluted as the storyline (s) is/are, just hang in there and it will all become crystal cloudy the deeper you go. It is a gross understatement to say Michelle Yeoh is fabulous, she is scintillating. And who knew that the little […]

The capital of Ireland, Dublin, is located on the east coast of the country in the middle of the Liffey River. I had been there in 2022, and in this article, I’ll try to show a point of view of how many things the city has to offer, and it should be your next destination. […]

Great innovations in travel: Steam Power
Modern travel would not exist today if it were not for steam power. Steam power, really, you said? Heating water to create energy, and how does this concern how we travel 鈥� which is by plane, by train (electrically powered), and by car? Well, steam power brought about trains and, thus, mass travel. In truth, […]
A Day in the Amboseli
What started as a journey in the wee hours of the morning turned out to be an unforgettable adventure in the wild that will forever be etched in our memories. The previous night I went over my checklist to ensure every item was packed and checked off as done. Aware of how early I needed […]

The 2022 World Cup has come to a close, with France once again reaching the final but falling short of adding another star to the Gallic rooster, the emblem of the French team. Following a few days of disappointment, many debates have taken place in France about whether Didier Deschamps should remain as head coach […]

Shame on the Oscars!
Sarah Polley, the director of Women Talking, was robbed of a much-deserved Oscar nomination for Best Director. What was the Academy thinking? Oh, right, a very uncomfortable subject being addressed and done so brilliantly. She skillfully demonstrated an incredible ability to deftly navigate the complexity of the subject matter and masterfully management of the all-star […]
You鈥檙e Never Too Old to be a Father: Shemar Moore is Officially a Dad at 52
They say age is just but a number. They also say (whoever ‘they’ is) that you should enjoy the days of your youth because you’ll be curtailed from doing so many things when old age starts creeping in. Shema Moore would however beg to differ. At 52 years of age, Moore welcomed a bouncing baby […]
