Boy, college protest season started early – but, found Slate’s Explainer explaining the protests at Gallaudet U to be fascinating. Not entirely up on the issues yet (still reading up), but kind of interesting that, no matter how differently abled they may be, college kids are still the same – the vigors of youth going [...]

Why blogging about jury duty may be a bad idea… This Slate article worries me – could tv really be bad for us after all? Apparently, exposing your babies to tv is bad; but too much may be even worse? Pancake recipe – without resorting to a mix?! Cool! And, just when we all have [...]

I love this story on the Nobel Peace Prize – the idea of a professor of economics doing more than being in the Ivory Tower – but finding a basic way of using basic capitalism to help those who need it most: The 2006 Nobel Peace Prize was awarded today to the Grameen Bank of [...]

This is a catch-up post for the past week, because I was so sick coming back from my trip. Yesterday was P and I’s anniversary, so we went to the local favorite sushi restaurant where we were welcomed warmly (it was a dark and stormy night, there were not a lot of people there, and [...]

Let’s go Mets! Let’s go Mets! The sad plane crash in NYC – and the even more sad fact that the deceased pilot/plane owner was Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle. He liked flying, apparently, and “speaking his mind” – as recent as Monday, he called in on WFAN’s Mike and the Mad Dog radio show and [...]

Sorry folks, didn’t have time to blog while I was in Hawaii.  Purposely didn’t check my email or log in once.  It was a beautiful thing .  Super relaxing, enjoyable and got sunburnt too .  WIll update laters.  Hope to get pics soon and share!

Baseball… talkin’ ’bout baseball… Yeah, Mets! NLCS, here we come. And, too bad for the Yankees. My sympathies to Yankee fans. Missed the Pollack documentary on Frank Gehry on PBS, but this was an interesting link… And, news on the Star Trek auction. Missed viewing the stuff, but really – if they’re selling the stuff, [...]

Let’s Go Mets!!! Game 3 tomorrow; you gotta believe… The passing of R.W. Apple of the NY Times – the news stunned me, because I had only recently read one of his articles on travel and food. His writing was great stuff to read and vivid. You could tell that he really enjoyed going places [...]

Stayed at the Sheraton Fisherman’s Wharf. I wish it had a minifridge, but otherwise it was comfortable and well situated. Valet parking was $38; kind of steep. Will keep it in mind for my next trip. Across the street is a Barnes & Noble – quiet, low traffic, high selection. Trader Joe’s and a Safeway [...]

Hawaii’s Don Ho on the mend. Spumoni – saving New Orleans. Profile on the woman behind “Grey’s Anatomy.” She knows her tv stuff. Cool. Having a coop in your co-op. What’s with them Yankees?  Joe Torre just took out Wang from the pitcher’s mound and now Detroit can almost tie the game! And, what’s with [...]
