Random Thoughts, Organized Chaotically. Sunday, October 07, 2007. Random Thoughts About Politics, Combed From The Newspaper. I Bolivia seeks expanded market for legal coca products. Evo Morales, ally of Hugo Chavez, and hence at risk of becoming anathema to the U.S., is trying to establish a larger global market for coca leaf products in forms other than illegal narcotics, by means of overturning a U.N. ban on exporting legal coca products. It is logical to assume that giving Bolivia the opportunity to p...

Random Thoughts, Organized Chaotically. Saturday, March 15, 2008. The Need For Compassion. Say what you will about Republicans, but they really are good for our character.

So in the pursuit of peace and compassi...

Feeling a Draft: NFL Draft Chatter. 2009-2010 NFL Draft Prospect Preseason Rankings: Running Backs. 1 Jahvid Best, California (5-10, 195). Best is blazing fast, but not a sprinter who just happens to play football. He doesn't shy away from hits and is electrifying in the open field. His athleticism and pure natural talent is second to none. What to Worry About. Similar to C.J. Spiller, he would serve extremely well as a tailback in a two back system. However, I like his prospects of running b...Spiller h...

Back To The City; or, Heading To Margaritaville. It had been months- literally- since I had been to San Francisco prior to Saturday. Ever since the move to Santa Cruz last October, I put out roots like a particularly sedentary house plant and stayed put. They did not disappoint.

Pumpkins And Egg Nog And Bourbon, Oh My. This year, I've ramped it up a little with some pumpkin liqueur, a wonderful concoction that I did not know existed.

Writing About Food, Knowing Nothing About It. A non-foodie's encounters with cooking and dining in San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and now Oakland. Saturday, August 20, 2011. Keeping Currant On The Philosophy Of Salad. I think what I like best about salad is the laissez-faire nature of its preparation. If you can eat it, you can put it in a salad. That pretty much sums up my perspective on salad. I do not forget, however. I made just a small portion, a one serving size to go with the pasta and chicken sausage...
