Nos han conmovido todos los mensajes de solidaridad y apoyo provenientes de México. Nuestra familia les agradece y les extraña. 🙏

More than 29 years ago, I asked this gentleman for his daughter’s hand in marriage and he agreed (and so, thankfully, did she). Today, just over a week after his 86th birthday, my father-in-law Robert Bruce lost his battle with cancer. He was the kind of guy who was always the

Blazing-fast image creation – using just your voice. Try Grok Imagine.

I don’t know if others feel the same way, but parallel parking tends to elicit a strong emotional reaction from me. There are few greater dopamine hits than getting the angle just right and gliding into the spot just close enough to, but not touching, the curb. Conversely, there

We need this at the State Department.

While serving as US Ambassador to Mexico, I occasionally had to apologize for offensive or disrespectful activities by our citizens in their country. I always regarded such incidents as aberrations that did not reflect, and indeed contradicted, our national character. Conversely,.

Was driving through some very narrow streets this morning. I slow down to a crawl, the pedestrians move into a single file or step off the road, and we wave as we pass each other. It’s a silent kinship because we all understand and appreciate the rules. Just another reminder that.

Bogotá has such a different vibe for me than other Latin American cities, and I think it’s in part because of the ubiquitous red brick buildings. I can’t think of another city in the region where they similarly define the urban landscape. Does anyone know how this came about?

I wanted to leave a little of myself behind, so I left little stones from our backyard in 🇺🇸 on the gravestones with my family’s names on them. I carried those little stones in my suit pockets as I attended the funeral services for slain Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay this.

Today’s funeral services in Bogotá 🇨🇴 for slain Colombian Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay were very moving. His mother was killed when he was just four, and now he’s also been killed when his own son is just four. His father has had to bury not only a wife but a son. That got me.

Colombia 🇨🇴 is a very special country for me, because it received my father when he fled his native Austria in 1938. He managed to extricate his parents the following year, and my paternal grandparents lived happily in Colombia for the rest of their lives. I never met my

Summer vibes. Alas, I’m allergic to hydrangeas, as I discovered on a family outing to the World Capital of Hydrangeas (Gramado, Brazil) in 1973.

By the way, this is barely a week after she earned her driver’s license. Makes me wonder if she will even need it in a few years! 🚗.

Our daughter Julia and some girlfriends are visiting San Francisco, California, for the first time, and her initial reaction is: “I love how many tech people are here. I can immediately recognize.” As if to prove the point, the girls took a ride in a Waymo (driverless taxi)—a

My late parents, who were immigrants, loved this country with every fiber of their being and were grateful for the incredible opportunities it offered them. I can only imagine how much it would have pained them to hear a sitting member of Congress, Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-IL),.

Traveling can open your eyes to small details that are very different in other countries. On my recent trip to Japan 🇯🇵, I was struck by the limited number of digits on license plates. I’m used to plates with 6 or 7 digits, but most I saw in Japan had just 2 or 3, and I never saw

I’m constantly amazed by Japan’s highly developed hygiene culture. Toilet seats open and close automatically, deodorize, play music, are heated—things I expect to see in a sci-fi movie. Today I washed my hands in a beautiful bowl but am not sure if it was a sink or a bidet.

this song has been stuck in my head all day and now it's stuck in yours

I’ve steered my way through hostile courtrooms and tense diplomatic negotiations, but I swear the most stressful moments in my life have been trying to teach the kids to drive. Spent a few hours this weekend with our teenage daughter Julia behind the wheel. She’s one of the most.

My superpower is apparently calling people at the WORST possible time, like when they’re about to step into an airport security scanner, going to the bathroom, exercising, eating, or watching a movie. Or maybe nobody wants to talk to me.

I had a similar experience myself in ninth grade. I had just started boarding school in the U.S. after living abroad. I was stunned when the biology teacher, Mr. Lehrbach, passed out a test and said he’d return at the end of the period to collect them. Not one student in the.
