It’s All Maya!

Part Three
A week after the “dog incident” we were on the Champs-Elysées after we had climbed to the top of the Arc de Triomphe.  Our plan was to eat pastries and have tea at Ladurée. I mean, where else would we have gone for a lemon tart (which is my favorite), but to Ladurée! They […]

Part Two: 
A few days later, Katia, Patrick and I had just left the apartment a few minutes earlier, Patrick was a few feet ahead of us looking in a shop window, when two big dogs bursted out of an apartment building unleashed. The German Shepherd came straight toward us barking at Katia. The dog was […]

Maya Muses:  Einstein said that in reality Time does not exist, yet ironically as each year passes, Time seems to go by just a little bit faster, while we progressively move slower through our lives.  It’s just one of those phenomena of life.

When my younger brother, Bam, (not his real name) bought a beautiful black convertible Stingray Corvette, I could understand how he was constantly babying his new car, but when he seriously thought of moving to a new house so he could drive his car right into his bedroom, I thought he was going bonkers!  He had […]

If history has told us anything, it’s that all politicians will say anything to get elected!  Promises are made and once elected, those promises go out the window!  Who doesn’t remember, “Read my lips: no new taxes.” and the controversy when George H. W. Bush eventually did raise taxes.  Is McCain, Clinton, or Obama any […]

Paula Abdul’s blunder on American Idol was funny at first, but when you think about it, poor Paula has some major problems to deal with.  There are times when she literally cannot put three words together without pausing for air; or else Simon or Randy need to hold on to her so she doesn’t fall […]
