Crazy Aunt Club – I’ve Been Inducted!

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 28, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareIt’s official. I have evolved (or degraded) into the quirky, eccentric aunt everyone either wants or dreads or somewhere-in-between. You know, the non-conforming aunt with no children, who has no social restraints imposed by fellow parents or schools or society to behave in a respectable and modest fashion. The one who travels, downs hot spicy […]

Paloma: Bracing for Loss Part II in a Series

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 25, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareFeeling Good and Mischievous Our beloved “nut” (rather than mutt) Paloma has endured five radiation treatments. Perhaps its her “dad” and me who are doing the enduring, as she is happily sedated and gets treats afterward, and gets to ride in the car for two hours each way (her favorite pastime!) How fortunate that animals […]

Spring is Here! I Know Because of Butterflies

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 24, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareThere are so many harbingers of Spring…warm air kissing your face, the sun beaming just a bit brighter, last patches of snow melting, animals and people are just a bit flirty-er, and oh the intoxicating scent of a profusion of orange tree blossoms if you’re lucky enough to reside in California, Florida, or Southern Spain […]

Music Discovery: Joe Bonamassa Concert

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 20, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareOK, it’s not like I “discovered” Joe Bonamassa, any more than Columbus “discovered” America. It was there, waiting to be noticed, appreciated, revered. And I’m so glad this man’s music and talent patiently awaited my discovery 🙂 I can really say to this guy, “you rock!” , and mean it in the literal sense. I […]

Paloma: Bracing for Loss, Part I in a Series

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 18, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareIt started with some sneezing this winter. Now, we are faced with the diagnosis of terminal cancer for our beloved rescue dog, Paloma. It’s a journey millions have sadly taken with their companion animals and if you’ll indulge me, I thought I’d write down some details of diagnosis, treatment, and my thoughts and emotions as […]

Spain-i-licious Serendipity: Bar Hopping in BCN

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 13, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI found a bar in Barcelona. I know – amazing, right? To find a place for cocktails in the self-proclaimed party capital of Spain, the fiesta capital of the world. It is called BAR-celona, haha. But, you see, those other bars, they don’t have Estefania, a Windex-wielding, hip shaking, singing camarera. Allow me to start […]

Olive Me – Why Not Take Olive Me?

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 11, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareWhole olives or olive oil? As we flew into Seville, Spain, our plane passed over vast groves of olive trees…so appropriate a welcome. I can’t help but wonder what is consumed more – olives in their tasty, meaty entirety? Or the olive oil that goes into virtually every dish? Even at breakfast the Sevillanos drizzle […]

Seville Spain: A Happiness Theory and My “New Math”

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 10, 2010 Random Ponderings

ShareIn addition to the Spanish language courses that I’ve been taking, I´ve also been studying math and philosophy in Seville. Please review my research and results below: Sevillian Math: One Way Walk to School = 1 T.V (Tinto Verano) Return Trip from School = 1 Leche Manchada (Some Powerful Coffee with Lots of Milk) Taking […]

Sevilla: Flamenco Fabulousness

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 8, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareAuthentic flamenco, like passion, is elusive. The more desperately you seek it and need it, the more the true-ness of it escapes you. It’s hardly in it’s most genuine form when dinner and sangria are included! The same with describing it. Right now, any proper words just to convey what it is are scarce. Therefore, […]

Always New…York

by Gina "SuuperG" Stark March 6, 2010 Travel and Adventures

ShareI’ve been here before. But was it the same city? And was I the same person? As Heraclitus of Ephesus observed: “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” For a person who enjoys variety and stimulation of every sense, it’s hard […]
