Saturday I spent hours at SAT yesterday, getting my RFC updated. I had an assistant do all the preparatory work, and I showed up to do the waiting, which is an art form in Mexico. It was only a couple of hours, but sitting quietly with dozens of others was...

Does anyone know how time works? Can we have any control over its passage? For this, we went to what some have said in the past. For example, the ancient Maya created a system of timekeeping based on astronomy that is still used today. The Maya developed a detailed...

Like any war story, this one has guts and glory! I committed to see seven live shows of various genres, and I had just six days to do it... and, goddamnit, I did it! And yes, I am a changed woman from the experience. Some would say changed for...
