Staying in the Historic Center of Guadalajara has really been a treat. There is always something going on. The Fiestas Octubre has events going on all over town I was able to catch some wonderful music acts for free on the Plaza de la Liberation or at the stage set up behind the Teatro Degollado. Also wonderful street musicians. We visited the Instituto Cultural Cabanas which is a UNESCO Wo
In Eva Lopez Sánchez's "One for the Road," the one isn't a drink but one last bottle of tequila shared by four friends (and Alan, a wealthy arrogant tagalong). They wind up having wildly divergent adventures in the wee hours in Mexico City.

Following a suggestion from a long-time reader, I subscribed to Global Golf Post , a new Orlando-based digital magazine edited by Brian Hewitt (formerly of Golf Channel), in hopes that I'd learn something new about golf on this planet.

I'm as happy as the next guy that Michelle Wie has become the 3rd player of the top 8 without a win as an LPGA member I labelled as "most likely to win this season" to fulfill my expectations and, well, win in this season . After Ai Miyazato and Na Yeon Choi, Wie has been playing the best among the LPGA winless of late, and without jet lag or the pressure of competing for Player of the Year,...
