I think my closing statement for my trip to San Antonio - "I ate, I drank, I was merry" - is the equivalent of the battle-framed statement - "I came, I saw, I conquered." Indeed, I did what I went to do and although I return home a tad exhausted - I am also refreshed [...]

What is the one accessory a young woman starting out in the world needs?
My trip to Cali this time has been a whirlwind. My primary purpose for being here was to attend my sister-in-law Narin's baby shower.
