Weekend in snowy Paris

TAKEAWAY: Nothing beats Paris any time of the year; but a Saturday snowy morning run thru the Jardin de Tuileries is the equivalent of several sessions at a therapist.

No better therapy for me!

A run thru Jardin de Tuileries this Saturday morning in Paris

I have always thought that life’s most gratifying pleasures can be simple, easily accessible and available to most.

For me, a run in the snow is always special. True, I was born a tropical creature in Cuba, and I live in mostly sunny Florida (although my city, Tampa, has sleet and ice today! Go figure), but I cherish an early morning run in the snow, just before it has been trampled on. You take a look at the ground and it is pure white as far as the eye can see.

That was my unique experience today here in Paris. I have come here to review the newly changed format of the financial daily, La Tribune, which reversed back to tabloid format last week.

40 years 40 lessons

The peaceful weekend is also a good setting for me to do some work on what will be a year-long project of a highly personal nature.

In 2010 I celebrate 40 years in this business, so I am compiling memory notes to provide some insights into this amazing journey I have followed and the lessons I have learned from it.

My plan is to start the series, 40 Years 40 Lessons, just about when we introduce the newly rethought Garcia Media website.
