Rama and I are the proud uncle and auntie to a little boy named Calder. He was born early this morning, and news has already reached the Philippines.

“It’s a red letter day for the Castros!” my brother Tom said. Yes, I agreed. One for the books.

Needless to say there has been much rejoicing, phone calling and oohing and ahhing over the one photo we have of him (and very little concentrating on anything else).

  • I'm Christine, and this is a slice of my life—a sweet, rich, wildly indulgent slice that would taste really good with a scoop of Breyers vanilla bean ice cream. Read more >>


  • I run a darling, friendly, little graphic design studio.
    I look on the bright side.
    I take photos. Lots of photos.
    I wish on stars and on websites.


  • I built my first web site 7 years ago and got 15 seconds of fame. (It changed my life.)
    I launched, then relaunched, an online magazine.
    I admitted to several embarrassing crushes.
    I consumed more bacon than any human should and lived to tell the tales.
