With Valentine’s Day just behind us, we are reminded of love and when we think of the character that best represents love the first thing that comes to mind is Cupid. You can’t go to a store during the holiday season without seeing the image of Cupid on cards, stuffed toys, candy boxes, and flower vases. Cupid was one of the minor Roman Gods. Although we don’t know his exact birth we do know he was born on Mount Olympus, Cupid is the son of Venus and Mercury. Venus is the goddess of love…

I recently visited Santa Fe College Fine Arts Hall to view the Songs for the season. This was my first time ever attending a show. My first experience was great and I really enjoyed it. To begin I would like to say the production and the displays were magnificent. When I walked in even before the show began they gave the perfect lighting with the snowflakes projected on the closed curtains. They also projected a Christmas tree and sat nutcrackers on each side giving a great winter theme. As it…

It was December 18th, seven days until Christmas, and an ordinary day so far in New York City. Amber was on her way to work, shoving her way through the busy streets. Christmas cheer filled the air, lights hung on the rooftops of buildings, stores blasted Christmas songs, and snowflakes danced down from the grey cloudy sky. Amber swung the office door behind her and was greeted by her cheerful employees. The office was decorated with lights and garland hanging around the cubicles, paper…

Christmas: Mulled Wine, Cranberry Sauce, Glistening Fields of Snow and … Last-minute Shopping. There are Canadians who have long completed their Christmas shopping, who have neat stacks of beautifully wrapped gifts tucked under a decorated tree as I type this sentence, on December 16th. And there are others who are in a state of disbelief, wondering how November zoomed by at such a speed and why, why, why they did not start shopping earlier. If you are in the second group, fear not. These 5…

As I skimmed over the overview, I couldn’t understand why my uncle had pointed me to South Carolina. Sitting there slightly intrigued, I thought to myself, “was this a joke, or did he perhaps flip to the wrong page?” Then…it hit me. I had just graduated Warrant Officer Candidate School a few months earlier, and the next phase of training required for me to complete my transition from a Senior Non-Commissioned Officer to a Warrant Officer was the Warrant Officer Basic Course.
