Imagine a world without hate.
I’m tapping this out on my ipad from Leon, MX: but wanted to share it. Every year my mom shoots ADL, the AntiDefamation League. Every year, she meets this lady who survived the holocaust.

Trabajo en Mexico: Parte 5 Abierto a Ocho.
I fell into bed on the third floor of the Juan Peron Aeropuerto International (wait, that’s not the name! Juan Peron was Argentina….how could I ever make that mistake?) in the weirdest Hilton you have ever seen. Even the room lighting was weird. Fluorescent? I think?

When I learned upgrade is better.
When I was a little kid, my mom would be driving Izzy, the 1972 Ford Pinto, and I would be seated in the back seat. This was before Ford Pintos were recalled for spontaneously combusting. We’d go past a mansion, often an embassy — I grew up near Washington, DC, and going past the embassy […]

Green Screen, Lines, and Model Moments
