Mauricio Jr. was born in the Philippines 75 years ago. At the airport he collects baggage carts that are left around the taxi stand and parking lots. He always seems in a good mood, and happy to help. Yesterday I had a group of people that came in with a lot of heavy bags. There he was to help me get the carts pushed out to the taxi. I know he wasn't always a cart return man. The next time we talk I'll have to get the rest of the story. I asked him if I could take his picture and do a story on the computer about him. He was delighted. He said, "My spirit will travel the world!"
I got my first computer early in the Summer of 2004, and began blogging almost immediately. Thanks to blogging I have been a part of several newspapers and online blogs. By that August I was featured in the lead story of the Tech Section in the San José Mercury News. Then what a pleasant surprise it was to find that my blog, "Taxi Vignettes" was the reason I was chosen as the best local blogger of the year (2006) by the Metro Newspaper. Fall of '06, I was contacted by a reporter, asking if I would be willing to be the topic of her next story in The Willow Glen Resident. It was a cool two pages including photos. Am I having fun yet?
