Twenty years ago, my mode of communication to call up and down the coast of the Mexican Caribbean was a marine radio. There were no phones.

  Oh how Facebook has reduced us to junior high feelings all over again. Those feelings weren’t that great the first time around.

What does it take to make you to stop? Recently, I was walking in Nice, France, the acclaimed French Riviera.  It was all I imagined…the fantasy of open air markets with fresh flowers, fruits and vegetables and artists on the sidewalks painting.
