The Ross Mirkarimi article in the SF Chronicle published Sunday is, at times, good reporting; but it often feels like the writers have already made up their mind and therefore their writing shows a hint of partiality. In my opinion of the whole Mirkarimi’s “rise and fall” – not just the actual incident but the … More Give Mirkarimi Another Chance
Going to the deepest point of Earth – DONE.
James Cameron did it. He dove to the deepest point on Earth,
the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench located southwest of Guam. The intrepid cinematographer became the first person to do this alone, and of course he took pictures and video. So inspired by it!
Mujeres de Arena – The Killing of Women in Juarez. Support is needed more than ever for the victims’ mothers, such as Norma Andrade, and their orphaned children who now seek to heal and grow free from their loss.
They were all young, beautiful, and poor. They were abducted, assaulted, raped, tortured, and killed; their bodies dumped, mutilated, hidden. Commonly referred to as “The Women of Juarez”, this massive case of violence against hundreds of young women has attracted international attention and support from NGOs such as International Amnesty but no answers to the … More Mujeres de Arena – The Killing of Women in Juarez

When East Haven Mayor Joseph Maturo Jr. (Connecticut) made derogative remarks towards Latino food, he didn’t think what “Not a Foodie” he is. My preppy-self was offended by his assumption that Tacos are the only food Latinos eat.
I would love the opportunity to educate the Mayor and help him become international cuisine connaisseur.
“Mr. Maturo”, I would say “Would you be kind next time, when referring to Latin American cuisine, to mention Chiles en Nogada
( stuffed poblano chiles, covered with a creamy walnut sauce), Cochinita Pibil, or any of the other quite frankly sophisticated daily meals we Mexicans and Latinos often eat?.”
Otherwise, you will be seen as ignorant and definitely, not a Foddie
FYI – Mayor Maturo apologized for his remarks, after many leaders including Connecticut Governor Dannel P. Malloy criticized him for his cultural insensitivity. The governor said that Maturo’s comment was “repugnant” and “unacceptable.”
It has been almost a year since the Olmec exhibit at the de Young Museum, and incredible event that brought gigantic pieces of Mexican ancestors history to San Francisco, and a treasure to Americans from the US, Canada and Latin America.

On Charming Towns.
Mill Valley is one of many of the towns I find charming, cultured, a jewel. It is located in Marin County, one of the wealthiest counties in California. But this town is welcoming and ti still has an air of a provincial town. The old train station has been converted into a restaurant and bookstore. … More Mill Valley, a reminder for how to create a charming town.

I am still thinking how would Latino voters take it if Mitt Romney later on shows interest in acquiring Mexican Citizenship, a weird fact that took place by accident. Mitt’s father was born in an American colony in the state of Chihuahua, in 1907. Mitt’s grandfather, a mormon how practiced polygamy, had moved the family to Mexico … More Would Mitt’s Mexican connection have an effect?
