Currently, I live in Germantown, Maryland, where I live at is not so bad, there are some shopping centers around the area including a Walmart and Target side by side towards each other, a Germantown library, and a local theatre next door for live music events.

Ali and Nino in Batumi, Georgia
I've been wanting to see this statue in person forever. I finally did, last weekend (February 7, 2026). My niece, who is staying with me and will be leaving in a week, desperately wanted to go to a sea (she has been to lakes, ponds, rivers, and oceans but never to a sea) so we decided to make a short trip to Batumi, the third largest city in Georgia (after Tbilisi and Kutaisi) located on the Black Sea shore. It is also a capital of Ajara, one of the regions of Georgia with a distinct culture and traditions. And the favorite place for Russians who fled Putin's war in Ukraine. In our short stay there, we heard a lot more Russian than Georgian in the streets of Batumi.

Jerry Orbach, rest in peace. New York pride.
Jerry Orbach was a true New Yorker. Jerry is one of my favorite actors and my favorite police officer. May Jerry Orbach rest in peace. He was a landmark of New York life until his passing, and whoever declared that made an excellent decision. I heard that when this great man and actor passed away, he had donated his eyes. Some of my favorite acting roles of Jerry Orbach are Lennie Briscoe from Law & Order, Lumière from the classic Disney film Beauty and the and Jerry even had an episode in the classic 1980s horror series "Tales from the Darkside." In the movie "Dirty Dancing," Jerry Orbach's role as Baby's father is my absolute favorite of all his roles.

Made in Puerto Rico
There is a wonderful restaurant that specializes in delicious Puerto Rican dishes and it is called “Made in Puerto Rico”. The employees were cool to let me take a picture with something behind the counter which I would not have been able to get to do without permission. when dining at "made in Puerto Rico" I dined on a fine dish of seafood paella. Simply delicious, I don't recall the beverage. The restaurant is more than a local eatery it has a series of locations aas well so that is to say it is a chain and a wonderful restaurant chain at that. The prices of their offerings are all reasonably priced dishes and beverages and it is truly a little bit of Puerto Rico outside of your door.

The library Bollywood celebration that I had went to,
That day I got some Henna art done on my hands. The talented Henna tattoo artist was doing beautiful work on my hands. There that day we also did some beautiful work on my hands. There that day we also did some tradition Indian dancing as well. It was great fun and I loved every minute of it. I got to wear traditional Indian garb around my waist and what not and it was great. I would to relive it again but I can relive it through this article. I was dancing with a lady who was teaching the dances and got my picture with her. On my forehead is the traditional accessory that takes you into the third eye. Learning these dances was a lot of fun. We also learned belly dancing type moves and what not. The library where I used to go is who sponsored this free event always put on wonderful functions like that. Just a beautiful and cultural time was had by all. The girl who did my henna tattoo is really very talented as is the lady who taught me the dance of India and Bollywood.

More on my trip to Miami!
another mural I saw while in Little Havana was that of Gloria and Emilio Estefan. I love Little Havana! It makes me think that once Cuba is free again, it's a taste of freedom that will be restored in Havana as well as the rest of the island. You can't beat Bacardi Rum. I saw a mural if Bacardi Rum. The liquor was invented in Santiago de Cuba. My visit to Miami Florida, Little Havana as well as other places in Little Havana and importantly Willy was everything I dreamed it would be and much much more than ever I could have imagined.

My holiday to Miami
My bucket list vacation has come true to go to Miami and visit the city of my friend Willy Chirino and it was everything I thought that it would be and more. I saw the famous orange that is associated with Miami called Atomiko. When i was there was when they were welcoming soccer player Leoni Messi to the city and their soccer team. I thank my cousin for making the dream come true and she does make miracles happen. This is the end of the first part there will be more. I cannot wait to tell you all about me going to Miami.

The Smoking Room
There is another smashing and funny comedic sitcom that I found from the British Broadcasting corporation called "The Smoking Room". The plot and premise of the show is very simple it centers around a couple of employees of a company that does something which is never said what. All of the employees are hilarious and it takes a genius writer to capture the hilarity of things and situations that happen in the break room or the smoking room in this case. It only lasted for no more than 2 or 3 seasons and it was too smart for it's own good.

A Taste of London
There is a show on Recipe.TV called “A Taste of London” hosted by Chef Edward Delling- Williams. It is as the title of the show says the food of London and culture. Being a native of London Edward Delling-Williams on the subject of London and the food. I love to watch a taste of London anytime it’s on. I would even watch reruns of it even if I’ve seen the episode before because it’s so enjoyable. I also like Edward Delling- Williams. He’s a personal host of the show one of my favorite cooking show personalities.
