Eight years ago we were married on City Island - A Slice of New York City Paradise. A year earlier I asked Yirong to marry me at the local NYC beach during the annual July Fourth Fireworks celebrations and extravaganza.
Viva CUBA Libre

There is no way to predict wether the Cuban protesters will eventually prevail against repression, but their courage is commendable.
I served as the first GM-15/10 Director Office of Cuba Broadcasting for TV Marti under President George HW Bush. I have never ever seen anything like these protests by the Cuban people that are being carried out all over the Caribbean island.

As we approach the anniversary of her death, it is most important to recall Celia's life of music and her patriotic integrity.
Úrsula Hilaria Celia de la Caridad Cruz Alfonso, known as Celia Cruz, was a Cuban-American singer and one of the most popular Latin artists of the 20th century. Cruz rose to fame in Cuba during the 1950s as a singer of guarachas, earning the nickname "La Guarachera de Cuba"
El Choteo

The evolution of the idiosyncratic Choteo, inextricably linked to Cuban national identity and is illustrated through its rich cross-cultural presence in cinema, literature, theater, and, most significantly, journalism, television, and popular music.
Made popular by the late Cuban comedian GUILLERMO ÁLVAREZ GUEDES, as well as others and authored with La generación del ño, by the award-winning writer Gustavo Pérez Firmat.

The free world is watching as the infamous date is approaching the Cuban Missile Crisis anniversary. Will these two be forever known as Kremlin Cruz and Moscow Marco?
It was one month and four days in 1962 from 16 October – 20 November.
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Images
Everyone has a group of people they call family. For better or worse, some are more successful and we wish others were much brighter.
My family members are spread out over this fantastic nation, which years ago opened its arms and accepted us as political refugees.
Every time I travel to Miami, or Los Angeles, I make an effort to see as many of them as I possibly can, but lately, I find some have drunk the Kool-Aid. This is concerning, not because we do not share the same point of view because that is normal, but because some of them should know better.
Castro Communism No, Cuba Si

Raul Castro has announced that he is stepping down and making room for his hand-picked BFF, who some say is much more. To me, it is difficult to imagine Fidel’s younger brother stop bending over and letting someone else take over so he can be doing what he likes. Cuba si, Comunimso no!
