What Have I Been Doing?

So, um, what have I been doing while not blogging much to speak of in the past three months? A great many things, let me assure you. One of them is a full-time job at the National Immigration Forum, where I've been doing some writing and editing. In case you're interested, I've drafted op-eds and blog posts about border security, the Secure Communities immigration program, the Republican candidates’ severe immigration stances, and visa and immigration reform. And if you'd like to read them, find them here: in the Houston Chronicle, Fox News Latino, the Huffington Post, and Huffington Post Business.

Such an amenity

I'm hoping to write about highlights from the past month and a half sometime soon. The short version is that I don't have much time to write, but you knew that already.

In the meantime, I thought I'd share this list of hotel services that I came across tonight while booking a room. The second to last one is such a relief. So many hotels don't have them these days; way to be a cut above.

GUEST SERVICES
  • Gift Shop
  • 24-Hour Front Desk
  • Dry Cleaning Service
  • Disability Accessible Facilities
  • Laundry/Valet Service
  • Luggage Storage
