It’s All Maya!

I’m more than happy that all 155 passengers and crew on US Airways Flight 1549 survived the emergency landing in the Hudson River minutes after takeoff from New York’s LaGuardia Airport yesterday afternoon.

I know, it’s nothing new, but on Christmas Eve I was thinking about all the blessings I have […]

Patrick and I danced the night away into the New Year until almost 5 in the morning!!! We contemplated going out to dinner or having dinner in and then dancing! Actually Patrick though about it; I was more than willing to have Patrick make dinner for the two of us!
