Born of Fire
Tonight I was headed back to the airport after a successful, and much needed day in the Bay. I came up to have a meeting with a new customer, spent some time with a few office colleagues and then met up with my daughter Imani at her work. Then the two of us went out …
Yesterday, I had a God encounter, and it disturbed me… Still does… It was about 95 degrees out, I was comfortably in my car, pulling out of a shopping center parking lot. I was driving slow, as there were various people walking around me. As I was about to make the turn out, I was …

The email caught me offguard. I was in the zone, under pressure to get a particular assignment done. I had polished off my healthy breakfast of oatmeal (ok, maybe it wasn’t so healthy, as it had sugar), and was focused on work. “Food – Come to the 4th floor kitchen behind XXXX conference room!” Without …

It started so well… good recipe from a well known chef… time on my side, no rush to get ready for work the next day, and the coup de grace, a good cut of meat: 5 lbs of pork shoulder, ready for roasting. It was a challenge I would accept willingly, looking forward to the …
I took a big chance a week ago. Anniversaries are special times, and as such, putting all of your eggs in an unknown basket could turn out pretty bad. Lucky for me, it didn’t. I heard about a Bed & Breakfast on Twitter from someone I was just getting to know, Gina Stark. I figured …

Ok, I admit it. I am a technogeek. I’ve always loved technology, progressive stuph, newer, better faster, etc. I’m a Boomer only by age, but more of a Buster and X-er in personality. I jumped on the online bandwagon with Xanga, then Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and of course, Kid Stuph. I love new stuph… However, …
Lemons. You really gotta love ’em. In fact, my son loves them so much he eats them like oranges. Personally, I think he’s crazy, but I admit he gets his craziness from me. I end up using them a lot in cooking, and having a lemon tree in the backyard is a definite plus. One …
I had dinner with a friend of mine the other day at Bistro Boudin, a delightful place right on Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco. While the Dungeness Crab Cake sandwich was good, the Apple “Upside Down” Sourdough Bread Pudding was, in a word, orgasmic. The food, however, was not the main thing I took away …
