My 17 year old son, Jonathan has recently been wanting to pursue a career in acting. I've always enjoyed watching Jon on the stage, but this whole Hollywood thing has some big hurdles to overcome. So a few months ago he signed up with a casting agency and he's already gotten paid for a couple of background gigs which makes him a working actor. ...

Cuban Heritage Day At Dodger Stadium – A Winner
What do I love more than Cubaneo*? I can't think of anything off the top of my head. (I know. However, the "husband and kids" answer is way too easy, but that's not important right now.) (*Cubaneo is when a bunch of Cubans are together and trying to talk over each other. It's an amazing thing.) We're going to the ...
Viva Los Dodgers – A Giveaway

It Can Wait.

The opinions are my own.} As you know, if you've been reading my blog for a while, I have four (now) grown children.

We’re. On. Vacation.
Every year we look forward to our week down in the beach town of Del Mar, California. It's about an hour south of where we live. What a difference that hour south makes. We've been coming here to this same beach house in Del Mar for the past 4 years and it always manages to feel both fresh and familiar. Unpacking and cooking is easy. I ...
We’re Off To See the Wizard
I'm glad I have a forced rest right now. (See the post about the whole stupid foot-in-an-inflatable-cast thing.) I'm happy to be able to catch up on some photo organization and scrapbooking. In going over my stuff I realized I had never printed the photos from the Spring Musical that my son, Jonathan was in. (Working on the scrapbook ...
It started with the meltdown in Tribeca…
[WARNING: Brutally honest sharing ahead. Proceed at your own risk. You've been warned.] I so didn't want to blog about this. I over-share enough as it is. But in the interest of "keeping it real," I'm going to go ahead and tell you what happened... Remember when I told you I that Plantar Fasciitis is a Big Jerk? Well, I ...
The Birthday Adventure
Lucy's been in Hollywood for the past month. She's doing an Improv Intensive at Improv Olympics West and has been living up there during the week and coming home (briefly!) to do laundry, regroup for a day before she goes back on Sunday afternoon to prepare for the next week. Yesterday, (Sunday) was her twentieth birthday. (I know. It ...
From this day forward…
We took our wedding vows on August 8th, 1992. Into this new covenant I brought my two beautiful children (Amy and Adam), and tremendously high hopes for the future. I often tell my kids that the biggest decision they'll ever make in their lives will be who they choose to marry. That one decision will, for the most part, decide their ...
Cuban Bruschetta. Believe it.
I know what you're thinking. You saw the title of this post and you said out loud, "There's no such thing as Cuban Bruschetta." That's also what my mom said. (But then she's a Cuban Mother and it's part of her job description to argue recreationally, but that's not important right now.) Lucy (who is the Bruschetta Expert of the family) asked, ...
