As what feels like every month this year, October came and went like a breeze, leaving some of us utterly confused.
The recent warm temperatures didn’t help the case. The tri-state area experienced a decently warm November so far with a high of 78 degrees just this Monday.
I debated whether I should write about this year’s GT pumpkin carving competition, but Halloween feels like forever ago. Thanksgiving feels as if it’s not even happening this year, and I’m already sorting out my Christmas tree ornaments — yes, you read that right. I can’t wait past Thanksgiving this year. Needless to say, I have no concept of time these days.

While I’m preparing myself for a quick turnaround between “Jingle Bells” and New Year’s resolutions, I’m excited to be wrapped up in the magic of the holidays and the togetherness this time of year brings.

May 5, 2025Costa Rica Lures with Modern Amenities, Rural Charm and a Simple Way of Life
When I first visited Costa Rica, I was ostensibly there for business. But after a few days in this tropical paradise, my trip started to feel more like a vacation than work. This isn’t to say I neglected my obligations, rather that my work meetings felt more pleasurable (and productive) than usual. The gorgeous jungle landscape combined with the pura vida lifestyle is a simply infectious combination, and it’s unsurprising the nation consistently ranks as the most popular tourist destination in Central America.
