Today Andre and I took Margeaux out to Seattle to meet Karissa during her lunch break. This is the second week we’ve done it and its been super fun hanging out with Magoo. She has become super alert and totally AWARE… laughing and giggling and even playing peek-a-boo!
she has totally been giving me tons of love and it makes a [...]

totally enjoying the sun shining, even though the VW decided to hit the fritz on me this week. Sigh- the downside of being stylish in a vintage car.
Anyway along with the sunshine comes the music. For me, sound-ography is important- I grew up with a mom who would play the guitar and sing Beatles tunes [...]

spent the last few days clearing out stuff. It’s amazing how much I accumulate even though I try to live by the wisdom of “travelling lite”. The best is the liberating feeling of just being able to let it all go…
Also been getting some quality time with the family and its been super fun. Busted [...]

brings happy happy times.
It all boils down to me hanging out with my niece Magoo, who has been so loving- giving me smiles, little 6 month old belly laughs and even let me put her to sleep while rocking her in my arms (trust me, only her mom and dad have had her permission to [...]

Yes. I’m alive. still here. so here’s a quick post with some real life data…
-In the last 11 days, I’ve worked 10.
-In those same 11 days I’ve taken 0 photos.
-I partied 3 of those 11 days (and slept a total of 2 hours on those nights).
-I have surprisingly had only 1 breakdown (which was cured [...]

Any of you that know me, know that there is a super duper philosophical side to me.
I like my Paolo time and thinking, mulling over and wondering about things is a hobby of mine. If you find me in the right moment, I can talk for hours about things like meaning and understanding and how [...]

good stuff happening in the first full week back at home. A lot of juggling and trying to get some me time in between all the projects and work.  (the me time is important otherwise the crankiness sets in).
Most the down time happens between midnight and 2am and by that notion some of you may think that [...]

If you were to line up all of Eddie and Chona’s ducklings in a row it’s rather obvious that the ducklings are all related. However, there is no doubt that I am definitely my Father’s son. While my siblings have some sort of blend of Lopez /Liloc traits I am the one who most physically [...]

Made it home and am happy that I have a few days before I get back to work. Took some time to put a little slide show of more photos together. Truth be told my photo collection dwindled a bit after spending time with my uncle. I found myself taking as much time as I [...]

It is 15 minutes after midnight and I am supposed to be packing for my flight. I’m suposed to head to the airport in 4 hours. Only things aren’t going as I had originally planned.
I’m not ready to go. And while it was difficult in and of itself to find out that my hopes of circumnavigating [...]
