I can’t even imagine what the world would be like without enough rice to go around. I was pondering that contingent while reading this article this morning. Although the article focuses specifically on the drought in Australia, apparently there are problems world-wide regarding rice production. In the olden days, during my stint in Hawaii, rice … Continue reading Global Rice Shortage→
It is a bit pathetic that my limited exposure to nature is looking out a window at a man made garden on an artificial piece of the island built from landfill. It is pretty though, and it does get me excited to experience a little bit o' real nature (outside of battery park city) later … Continue reading Proof that Spring is All Upons→

Piper’s doctors hold a monthly meeting with her primary doctor, the therapy coordinator, nurse practitioner and social worker. Yesterday was the … Continue reading Piper’s Progress is Official!→
I was relieved to read today, in an article following up on the Blackholes and Dragons article I posted about, a while back, that “Fears about the Brookhaven collider first centered on black holes but soon shifted to the danger posed by weird hypothetical particles, strangelets, that critics said could transform the Earth almost instantly … Continue reading Hear me, hear me, I want sugar in my tea→

By the 13th lap, Rossi was clearly having some … Continue reading Jorge detonates in Estoril→

We had band practice last night. It was the first time that we have played together since Chris picked up his new guitar and amp. It was pretty cool. He got an old Fender strat from his brother. There is a pretty big difference in the way the songs sound, when replacing the acoustic with … Continue reading New Name Needed→
Sometimes you just need to take a minute to be cheesy/sappy. For me, right now is that minute. I just want to reiterate what an amazing person Reagan is. We have had one of the craziest (good crazy, and otherwise) relationships ever, pretty much from the get go. When you take that and compound it … Continue reading Gherbal Essence→
After 2 free practice sessions, Rossi and Pedrosa are pulling down the fastest times in Estoril. Stoner is barely in the top 10 fastest so far. It would be great if this Sunday ends up being a tight battle between the two. After the win in Spain, 2 weeks ago, Pedrosa now holds the lead, … Continue reading Grande Premio de Portugal→
