Peruvian Olympian in a Race Against Parkinson's
Roberto Carcelen made history at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics when he became the first Peruvian to compete in the winter Olympics. Peru is a proud country with a rich history of athletic competition, but the moderate temperature makes training for winter sports uncommon in that region.

Everybody Does Machu Picchu WrongTop Story - September 2019
These days it seems like everyone has been to Machu Picchu. Your friends plaster selfies of themselves at the famous lost city with the same enthusiasm of Hollywood directors showing their latest imagining of some two-bit hoodlum slaughtering Batman's parents.

Apple Orchard Combat
There is nothing more satisfying than visiting an apple orchard on a brisk, autumn day. You reach down to collect a mushy, worm eaten discard lying in a wet puddle under a tree. Cock your arm, let fly, and watch as the projectile explodes into a mist of apple sauce and seeds as it connects with the jaw of some close high school buddy or grade school pal (or enemy).

Simultaneous Acceptance
I’ve been working as a writer in some kind of professional capacity for more than ten years. I’ve had novel contracts with four different publishers and my stories and articles have appeared in quite a number of print and online media. Like the majority of writers, I don’t earn enough to support myself exclusively through writing, but it’s always nice to get a check in the mail for a recently placed piece. I’ve found that the best tactic for prolonged success is to generate lasting professional relationships with as many magazine editors and publishers as possible. Bearing that in mind, you can imagine my horror when a series of miscommunications led to a situation where two magazines were set to publish the same article at the same time.

You Can Speak Spanish with Pride in the USA
Yesterday I took my family to look at a used car. We’d found a rusted out “beater with a heater” on Craigslist which I thought could be used for picking up my children from school. After a quick test drive, I turned to consult my wife in Spanish. After a few words, I turned back to the man who was selling the car.
