Earth Day 1970 Changed My Life... Now a Pandemic Has

April 22 is the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Most of the world is at home trying to avoid the Coronavirus; Mother Nature is saying thank you. It's ironic that on the eve of Earth Day, a pandemic is giving the planet the reprieve it needs to replenish.

From Down in a Coal Mine to a Restaurant Run by Inmates - Adventures in Cardiff, Wales

I’ve travelled the world including multiple trips to Europe, but Cardiff, Wales was not on my radar. With a new 52-page passport since the old one ran out of space for immigration stamps, I set out for an 8-day visit.

Madeira: Losing Control on the Back of a Harley in Madeira

True confession: I possess a lingering fantasy that involves a motorcycle, the ultimate he-man driver, and me on the back, arms wrapped tightly around his waist. The scene includes speed and danger, which he skillfully navigates as we challenge the odds. Born and raised in New York City, however, motorcycles have never been part of my life.

The Magic of Happenstance... Madeira, Portugal, Part 1

Happenstance landed me in Funchal, Madeira, Portugal during the Extreme Sailing Series, a Catamaran race that tours the world over the course of 10 months. No, I'm not a sailor, nor did I know anything about sailing other than the fantasy images in my head of cocktail sipping, Docksider wearing glamorous rich people relaxing on the Mediterranean Sea, intercut with horror images from films like The Perfect Storm and The Guardian.

The Ultimate Surrender on a Catamaran, Madeira, Portugal - Part 2

Imagine my surprise being invited to experience the Extreme Sailing Series Catamaran Regatta in Madeira, Portugal, knowing absolutely nothing about sailing. But there I found myself, surrounded by the manliest of men from around the globe, the cream of the crop, world-class Olympic athletes... sailors.

Regatta de Catamarans-Riding the Wind at the Extreme Sailing Series

When I found myself surrounded by some of the best sailors in the world, I pinched myself in disbelief. As a New Yorker, and a non-sailor, it was a rather strange place to land. But an invitation from a friend introduced me to the Extreme Sailing Series regatta, which I got to experience first-hand during racing events in Madeira, Portugal and Cardiff, Wales.

How I Discovered my Identity in Haiti * Identity Magazine

Why I Was Buried in 104 Degree Sand in Porto Santo, Portugal

There was no foreplay here; it was immediately down to business. "First, we take your blood pressure and you drink water," the therapist said in mix of broken English and Portuguese as she handed me a glass, wrapped me in the blood pressure sleeve, and started pumping until my arm was about to explode from the pressure.

Why I Almost Paid $3,000 Because of a Hot Guy...

Perhaps this dates me, but I still use a landline. Caller ID thankfully protects me from most solicitation, but occasionally one will get through. Recently, I received a call from a normal-seeming area code that my gut told me was a solicitation, but I answered anyway. It was offering a free 90-minute European facial.

Clock Towers of New York; You Are My True North...

Growing up in New York City, clock tower buildings have been my navigational tools, my true north for as long as I can remember. I was born and raised on 17th Street between Irving Place and Park Avenue South back in the day when it was not a good neighborhood.

Navigating the Traditional and Alternative Medical Worlds - Identity Magazine

Reality hit hard; I had to make life-saving or life-threatening decisions.
