> OK, firstly…there’s nothing really urban simple about this post other than it falls under the category of cooking, and that it is part of my work so I suppose it is also part of the sacred journey of my everyday life (though it doesn’t always seem that way when I’m stressing out at work).Continue reading “>Yin and Yang of Jellied Fish”

We Need This Now More Than Ever
I’ve been riding past this spray-painting on the side of a building at Allen and Delaware Streets for the past week. I look at it every time I ride past it and I finally snapped it’s picture. It’s a powerful statement in just two words. America is now, for the first time in it’s shortContinue reading “We Need This Now More Than Ever”

Five Quotes from Helen Keller
“Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in theContinue reading “Five Quotes from Helen Keller”

Things Have Changed
I love this short video; came across it at The Urban Country (thanks James). It really is amazing how things have changed in just the last few decades. Anyhow, this is definitely worth 1 minute of your time…you’ll likely enjoy it. Now it’s time for us to evolve our habits even more.

Close to the Summit?

It is very close to $4/gl (which of course is still much less than many other areas of the world haveContinue reading “Close to the Summit?”

Images of Spring
It was such a a beautiful day and I thought I’d snap a few photos of these flowers…they grow each spring in in front of my house, but mostly in the front yards of neighbors on both sides of me (as most of my front yard is used for planting vegetables).

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#298 & 299)…and why I won’t be posting for a few days.
#298 (top)…a raw loaf of whole wheat bread; carried on my way to work in the morning. #299 (bottom)…a freshly baked loaf of whole wheat bread; carried on my way home in the evening. I likely will not be posting for a few days because the Internet connection at my house is down (currently peckingContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#298 & 299)…and why I won’t be posting for a few days.”

A canvas bag containing, among other things, a few actual books and nearly 60 virtual books. Two ham-and-cheese panini. Two pounds of sliced turkey. A small cardboard box containing new headphones (for my son). A six foot cable lock.
