I started this blog long before the concept of Working From Home, Working in Coffeeshops, Co-Working or anything more than the concept of teleworking was the way it was described. There was no WeWork. No SecondHome. I used Regus locations all over the world as I needed to, and still do. Having a UPS store … Read more

Having been traveling and exploring Vermut (Vermouth from a tap) in Madrid, tasting wines in Spain – both Barcelona and Madrid – in wine bars and with meals, explored new wines from Portugal with Nelson Guerreiro and Iris Lorenzo in Lisbon as well … Read more
I just spent three weeks on the road, working remotely in Europe. Along the way, I stayed in hotels in London, Paris, Lisbon, Madrid and Barcelona, and in my winemaker friend's Gite. Now I'm back in the USA and realizing that despite all the claims our Information Service providers make about being the best, it … Read more
