I visited BMW Welt* recently and I have to say, IMHO, nobody does it better. Look at this: Passion. Outstanding engineering. Sustainability. Mmmmmm. I am in love. ____________________ *Quite possibly one of my favorite places to visit.

The night before I was leaving for San Francisco to attend the BlogHer Conference, my kids broke down, urging me not to go or, better yet, to take them with me. They couldn’t bear the thought of my being away for so many days. They made the point that I had never been apart from [...]

The New Colossus Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame, with conquering limbs astride from land to land; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand a mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles.

When I mentioned to many of my friends that we were spending spring break in San Francisco, I was met with quizzical, curious gazes and statements like these: “Oh, well, now that’s interesting. Let me know how it goes.” Okay. Sure. We started with a relatively painless plane ride to sunny CA. My son was [...]
