The Master Cleanse Experience… aka Lemonade Diet

Well it has been sometime since I have blogged, before the birth of our second baby, Clover Alessandra. This topic, however, has to be blogged about. I started the Master Cleanse diet this past Monday, January 29th, 2008. It is a 10 day(min) fast where you only consume liquids consisting of a lemonade concoction and [...]

coffee

There’s much talk about coffee. Do we pay attention? Dunkin’ Donuts is back in the running, and seems to have made an impressive comeback. The word is that Starbucks is trying to reinvent itself. I remember when Starbucks came on the horizon, founded by a fellow from Brooklyn. Its coffee was tasty then, not bitter [...]

imagine

This morning when I logged on to my laptop, I saw aol’s piece on the most dangerous cities in the US. It wasn’t pretty. Many of the photos were of police capturing troublemakers, all in terribly run-down sections of towns. After that I got to thinking about the word quality, and the fact that it [...]

peace and love in 2008

I hope anyone reading this was able to welcome in the New Year around family, friends and loved ones.
Mom, thanks for making the trip. It was wonderful as always having you with us. I’m thinking that Taverna Agora may become a family spot…
Good things coming for all of us in 2008!

hollywood, northwest part of los angeles, ca

I saw only bits of the Emmys. Emi and I were in Philadelphia this weekend. We stayed at Alexander Inn B&B at 301 S. 12th Street, phone number: 215-923-3535, and on Sunday evening Emi tuned in to the Emmys for a short time. It’s part of Emi’s world. However, in my world, these thoughts surfaced: [...]

at the marriott marquis times square and some nearby places

Two special people came to town this past week and reserved a suite at the Marriott Marquis at 1535 Broadway between 45th and 46th Streets marriottmarquistimessquare.com . I stayed with them for four nights. For a huge place it was quite nice. The operation of the elevators had most first-time guests baffled. You’ll see [...]

mother’s day

Will my daughter Sumi become a mother by Mother’s Day or not? Baby is due on 13 May, Mother’s Day, and she and my son-in-law Toshi are relaxed and waiting. Will the baby choose to come early, on time, or late? It’s been said that-early, on time, late-gives an inkling to the baby’s personality. When [...]
