When I was still a child, around 9 years old, one day I told my mother: “I will never marry.” My mother said nothing. During the last years at high school, since my school was considered a “high society” school for girls, the principal of the school would organize dances and invite the boys of […]
I have slept in quite a number of different kinds of “beds” in my life. My first bed was a beautiful free-standing oval cradle that my parents had put together so they could travel with it. It was lined with soft light blue fabric. I never asked why it was light blue, but I suspected […]
My next adventure with Karelin was going to Mount Crested Butte in the middle of Winter 2008. We booked a deal that included 3 nights in a lodge and a rental car. Of course, we did not plan to ski! We just wanted to enjoy the views, the picturesque town of about 700 inhabitants, and […]
One day unexpectedly Karelin came to my office and asked me if I like cruising. “Of course, I said, I have done a couple, and I thoroughly enjoyed them.” She said she had done cruise to Alaska recently and she wanted to do another with the same cruise line. “How about doing one together around […]

That night I knew that what I was seeing on the ceiling of my room was not the usual reflection of the water of the pool illuminated by the light of one of the lamp posts. It was a very tall body with a greyish/white smoky color that only told me one word: “Listen!”. Next […]
It was in the 2010’s. The TV program, “The Apprentice”, had great ratings but I didn’t particularly like Donald Trump firing people. At that time I was a Dissertation Advisor at Nova Southeastern University, guiding international students on how to do academic research to write their dissertations needed to obtain their Doctorates in Education. That […]
When I was still in the equivalent of High School we had to take an examination, done by teachers of a Government approved School, to get our official certificate of studies and then apply to the Bachillerato test to be able to continue studying at a University. When my classmates and I were preparing for […]
