How a Macaw Bird Helped Me Meet My Mother?
My mom Patricia, was always a big fan of Macaw Birds, or as she called them, “beautiful Lapas!” She always admired them and placed visiting a country like Costa Rica on her bucket list so that she could one day meet lots of them, up close and personal. We often talked about her dream, but reality got in the way, and the trip never happened. Sadly, she never met the Scarlet or Great Green Macaw birds that call Costa Rica their home.

U.S. Homebuilder’s Index Rises in September 2021
Not really! While a 1.0 point rise to 76 in the National Association of Homebuilder’s Index (from a 13-month low last month), it remains below its reading of 90 (November 2020).

She was 15, and I was 13 which, highlighted the wide maturity gap between us! To most, it was clear that I was clearly out of my league. Yet, I stubbornly refused to acknowledge the obvious. Sheena's favorite phrase was, “I will never date little boys.” Those words always felt like a nuclear weapon heading towards the space between my eyes and still make me quiver as I vividly remember hearing those words more than 50 years ago.

Exploring the Choices Ducks and Humans Must Make to Survive
The global pandemic hit the economy in a way that wasn’t dissimilar to the existential risk that ducks face each year in areas with variable climates. Some fly south in search of warmer weather. Others opt to stay and develop a survival strategy. For those that choose to stay, finding a place to reside with enough food until their favorite pond thaws is a priority.

The True Meaning of Green
As a child, my mom conditioned me to believe that green signaled success, happiness, and money! For a person growing up in a New York City low-income public housing project lacking at least two of these three amenities, it was something that left a deep impression on me as a child.
