Sometimes it just feels good to slow down, to walk to work, to live in the moment of an uncommon snowy, winter day in Richmond, Virginia.
The three mile trek from home to VCU Health led me through the Museum District, The Fan District, VCU Campus and Monroe Park.
Lovely.
Every now and then I read a book that really moves me, this time a coming of age memoir and travelogue by American author Jay Parini about his Scottish Highlands trip with Argentine man of letters, Jorge Luis Borges.
The descriptive writing, the adventure and the serious comedy of it all makes for a memorable read and an even better life experience.
As an Argentine, I am deeply envious of Parini's time with such a brilliant compatriot, who's intellect I greatly admire.
