Synopsis

A collection of essays on life's observations and experiences. It begins with a chance encounter on the Paseo de la Reforma in Mexico City and continues through the aftermath of the closing of a favorite Italian market, the looming effects of the sound of jet engines in New York City, and the rediscovering of childhood friends and acquaintances. These are real-life encounters and unspoken memories-some haunting, some exhilarating, some sad, and some that will bring smiles and evoke your own warm memories.
