Back to being just Janice… by Janice Nigro I have thought many times that I should write a story about integration, oddly back into my own country. Except that I am still doing it, and I am not sure I would categorize it as a success. I had always wanted to live overseas. I thought... Continue Reading →
The man with the pink suitcase by Janice Nigro I have had exhausting travel days. Recently, I flew 11.5 hours to Munich from LAX, picked up my luggage at the baggage claim in Munich, checked my bag for Roma, re-entered through security, flew to Roma, took the Leonardo Express to the city, purchased a train...

Actual sea urchin spines (Hawaiian) that look like a cathode ray tube or some sort of fancy futuristic light fixture.
Spooky grainy sunset against the homes along the beach in Los Angeles. Sort of has a 1950s B-movie look to it!
The parents of my father were born in a small town in Sicilia. Over the years I have visited the island, really another country, because I wanted to know where my DNA came from. Ironically, it was because of my mother, of German descent, that I ended up at a Sicilian wedding in winter. It... Continue Reading →
Clouds over the beach are generating lots of drama over the Pacific in recent days after the sun sets!
