I love getting up early. I live by 'seize the day' and like to get up before most people to get started. I especially love Sundays because people tend to sleep in, stores open later, and (some) people still go to mass, in-person or virtually. That means less people out and no traffic. I live …
I am writing this to remind myself that I am lucky. And that I need to be grateful. I was born and lived under Martial law. I remember when the dictator’s opponent was assassinated. Then came the uprising, when I was 9 or 10. Streets were either eerily quiet or chaotic. And they closed the …

Walk Location: Elysian Park Today's Mileage: 5.23 miles October Total: 12.53 miles I wanted to do an urban hike this morning and get at least 5 miles in. I love Griffith Park but knew that it would be very busy. The question was not where else, but which park. In the City of Los Angeles …
The theme of today’s walk was “Insecure”, featuring the filming locations of the HBO show by Issa Rae. I heard about the show before, but couldn't watch it right away as we didn't have HBO. And then we did. I watched the first episode and binged it all. I could almost hear all my nonprofit …
