Today’s Dose of Nostalgia: Pluto and VHS

By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this and smiled when I saw Pluto and its mixed status. Spoiler alert— now, while Mars is the most popular, Pluto remains on the list. As children, we were intrigued by it.

Maxine’s ABCs

By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you been crafting, scheming and plotting, lately? (And while these words carry a negative connotation, I don’t mean them negatively or involving deceit.

Restaurant Jordnær

This Chef Eric Kragh Vildgaard video left me with chills. It’s powerful. If you can’t watch the whole thing, please watch the last ten minutes.

Strangers

By: Gabriela Yareliz What happens when you realize the person you (thought you) knew the best is a completely different person than you imagined? If you have been divorced or if you are a child of divorce, you know this can happen, and happen unexpectedly. Rumor has it, Strangers is on backorder. When was theContinue reading “Strangers”

The Tunnel

By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on the train stuck in the tunnel. I was seated by the window, and I would lean toward the glass to see the darkness ahead. I was looking for the literal light at the end of the tunnel where the train takes the bridge toward Manhattan. We passed a deceivingContinue reading “The Tunnel”
