46 inches of rain

August 29, 2017 by Sandra Fernandez Leave a Comment

On Friday, we knew that that Hurricane Harvey had made landfall in Texas, but we thought we had some time before its effects would be felt in the Houston area. So, in a (now clear) moment of arrogance, we drove over to check on my mother before “it got bad.” My mother lives with my […]

Although the impact to Houston hasn’t been from the hurricane itself (it’s downgraded to a tropical storm) the torrential rains have devastated the city. Depending on the newscast, we’ve received […]

Tomorrow is the solar eclipse … which you already know unless you’ve been living under a rock or completely offline and away from any kind of media. If you were smart, or siply better organized and prepared than I am, then you ordered the correct type of “eclipse glasses” weeks ago so you would be […]

Stamps to make my Latina Geek heart happy (hispanichouston.com)

How often do you send mail through the Post Office? And by that I mean when was the last time you used a real stamp? My mother still sends all her bills through the mail. But she never buys stamps. Every few months we have the same exchange: HER: “Do you have any stamps.” ME: […]

My Words For Trump: Prove Me Wrong!

November 9, 2016 by Sandra Fernandez 2 Comments

I have spent years trying to avoid talking politics on this blog and in most public channels. It’s a result of spending most of my professional life being a spokesperson — I’ve learned to avoid sharing my personal beliefs. Today, I step away from that. I’m not certain it will be a one-time event. * […]
