Happy Cinco de Mayo!!! :)
A Mexican-American fiesta makes a great fit for a Mexican-American food (burrito). Feliz Cinco de Mayo! :)
Cinco De Mayo, The holiday of May 5th, commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862. It is a regional holiday celebrated in the City of Puebla, with some limited recognition in other parts of Mexico. It is not Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually on September 16th.
Celebrating Cinco de Mayo has become ever more popular along the U.S. Mexico border and in parts of the U.S It is a celebration of Mexican culture, food, music, beverage and customs unique to Mexico. Several cities throughout the U.S. hold parades and concerts during the week.

Burrito @ Luz del Mes! :)
Eagle Gamma on Luz Del Mes Spotlight Interview
Q 2. What or who inspired you to write “El burrito que queria volar”?
A 2. My coauthor Avril Olachea. She proposed that we create a story together, and she suggested the initial idea of a burrito who wants to fly. And she inspired me more generally!Q 3. Do you come up with your title before or after you write the manuscript?
A 3. It depends on the work. For the burrito, I came up with a working title before writing the draft, although Avril insistently refused to accept my apparently made-up word as part of the Spanish language. After we went back and forth many times, we came up with a new title. Likewise, for other books the title often grows out of different attitudes.Q 4. Why do you prefer to write Children Books in Spanish ?
A 4 First and foremost, I feel that Spanish more naturally communicates children's tales. The language is beautiful, poetic, and lends itself to magical realism of the sort that children enjoy. Beyond that, I enjoy the chance to learn more Spanish that way, and to practice for when I spend time in Spanish-speaking places...

LifeFLOW!!! :)
We've got a new name, LifeFLOW, for what was previously LifeGAME. The name change reflects the fact that it is a little bit different than a lot of games, and so the title should set appropriate expectations. Also, we've got a few more additions to LifeFLOW. Check it out, and contribute! :)

When should Eagle leave Miami @ CodeWOW! :)
Currently I feel like I'll probably go in a week or two. Still have LOTS of stuff I want to do here, and I love Miami. However, I also still very much want to get up and around some of the more northeastern parts of the country this year. It's tempting to stay, but it's a temptation I think I should refuse, in favor of having an awesome summer adventure, with great opportunities ahead! :)
Rock & Roll!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
