In A Word
I’m one of those New Year’s Eve revelers that admit my resolutions, like diets, fade with each new month of the New Year.
Santa Fe’s New Celebrity Chef
If I knew during Rahm’s skinny-cute-kid days that he’d have “people” I might have been nicer to him. I liked Rahm, but I had two lovely young teenage daughters that every overly hormonal boy in Santa Fe wanted to rub up against, making my incisors instinctively flash.
“Philanthropos Tropos” Rekindles Holiday Lights
When our economy turned, my wealth transformed from monetary to experience. Experience shaved expenses to just pay the bills. Some of those sheared expenses included shopping for toys and clothes for the children who don’t even have a roof where Santa’s sleigh can land;

I’m Unemployable!
Who knew that financial catastrophe would make my resume irrelevant, or that I’d even have to compose a resume?
Alton Brown’s Chat With Monterey Bay Aquarium
Foodies visit “the muse” every day. Thanks! Chef daughter, Chef Dakota Weiss is a strong proponent of sustainable foods and has been in the forefront of this movement for years. She once said, “I can’t imagine why a chef would think any differently about sustainability.” BTW here’s the latest review on Dakota and the Dining Room at Shangri-la: http://www.justluxe.com/lifestyle/dining/feature-747202.php Today’s newsfeed from Sea Notes features an interview with Food Network star, Alton Brown.

My passion for the whale began in the early 1980s when an editor assigned me to write a feature story on the “new” whale watch tours.
