Last night, I attended the D-Day Commemoration at Atlanta History Center, kicking off my week of commemoration of American military. I may start calling this Memorial Week instead of Memorial Day. I also had a chance to do a behind-the-scenes tour of The Swan House, part of the Atlanta History Center. The D-Day conversation was …
I wrote this while I was working at Georgia Tech for the Office of Conference Services (2014-2019). The choices are endless if you are looking for fun after hours in Atlanta. Options vary depending on the age group of guests, but there is something for any age staying with us at Georgia Tech. At Georgia …
I love movies about food and cooking. Maybe it’s because I can’t cook? You know what they say about teachers... those who can’t do, teach. Those who can’t cook, eat and watch movies about cooking. The Good (Chef, The Hundred Foot Journey, Eat Drink Man Woman, Like Water For Chocolate), The Bad (Chocolat, No Reservations, …
Last night, I had the chance to screen Tolkien, a biopic about one of the greatest minds in literature and fantasy. I thought to myself, this beautifully crafted film is going to get lost among all of the summer blockbuster movies, and Fox Searchlight made a horrible decision not to release it during “nomination season” - between Thanksgiving …

Anyone that knows me can tell you I am a lover of art, music and movies. Above all, I absorb history. I read encyclopedias and books about president as a child. I’ve been called “Sravipedia” before, and I play trivia with friends almost every week, and usually win! Growing up in New Orleans, Louisiana, Ocean…
We live in a world where hate is the driving force. We live in a world where you are not free to love, but it is okay to hate. It hurts me to see people attack each other because their opinions differ. What's wrong with coexisting? With living next to your neighbor that is a different gender, race, …
One more Valentine's Day in the books. It's not a big day for me. I am, after all, a cynical romantic. I am happy for all those who want to celebrate, and should, but it's just not for me. As George & Ira Gershwin told us: Old Man Sunshine, listen, you Never tell me dreams …

I used to be the biggest sports fan. I gave it up a couple of years ago to divert my funds and fun to something more satisfying. Of course, right after I do that, my city hosts the College Football National Championship, the MLS All-Star game and Championship Cup, and our team wins the Cup. …
