For most of my motorcycle riding lifetime in the US, there have been mandatory helmet laws. And while I have been lucky enough to always be with a highly experienced driver, I have also been lucky enough never been in a biking accident.
At least one good friend of mine was scathed for life after a drunk driver hit his motorcycle when he wasn’t wearing a helmet. And now with great looking and highly protective helmets like this Bell Vortex Flying Tiger, there is no excuse to go out there unprotected.
Save your life and your brain. Wear a helmet!
One of the more stressful things about moving back to the US is the change in doctors and insurance. In Turks and Caicos everything was clear and ran smoothly like new casters over a hardwood floor. Seriously, for a place that I would never associate with efficiency, we had great National Insurance and private health…

While we were in the Caribbean we became very used to paying everything in cash. Seriously, every bill could be paid in cash and everyone accepted cash. We routinely used $50 and $100 bills in the store and nobody batted an eye! So then we come back to the states and anytime I pull out…

The holidays feel very strange to me this year. I’m not used to the weather and am freezing much of the time. I am slow because most of my clients are away, either home with family or vacationing at a place like Parrot Cay, where this is the busiest time of year. And I am…

OK, last night we watched one of the funniest and goriest movies we’ve seen in a long time, Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, starring one of my very favorite comedians, Alan Tudyck. Without giving too much away, I will say that the twist of this movie is that the bumbling country boys who seem to…

Last week I went to train a client in her building’s brand new and beautiful Pilates studio. The only problem was that some of the equipment, namely the cadillac, was not put together correctly. The poles were set too high, the eye rings for the bottom tower springs were set too low (under the poles),…

An interesting collectible that has come out more recently is silver and silver coins, including morgan dollar coins. Silver is rising in value as the value of money drops, yet it is still affordable. If you have the space and funds to buy now it could be very worthwhile to invest in silver, since gold…

The other day I was waiting for an elevator in building around 7pm. Another woman was waiting with me, and as we went to get on the elevator that opened we were assaulted by the smell of way too much men’s cologne. In fact, we smelled the young man in the elevator before we saw…
