Brain Activity

I read somewhere that children remember about 7% of what they recently learned from school, during the summer time vacation. I know that the statistic refers to facts and figures. Somehow, song lyrics, phone numbers, email addresses are rarely forgotten. I used to tell my students who told me they…

Americans Never Forget Their Friends, the Mexicans

The misconception that Cinco de Mayo, May 5th is Mexican Independence Day needs to be corrected. Mexican Independence Day is observed on September 15th. May 5th is a holiday of the small or few overcoming the great or many. On May 5, 1862…

Birthday Experiences

If you look at a past blog, I mentioned my group of friends who have shared each other’s lives for a very long time. A few years ago, we decided that exchanging gifts, actual material things that we purchased, is not as meaningful as giving each other time together while doing an…
