Heading for England

I've got a big trip planned to the UK leaving Friday July 18th, but before I go I have to attend the funeral of my good buddie Tom Panos. It's a great blow to lose him, and very sudden too. Fare thee well Tom and keep looking forward ....

Lil Wayne show, September 2nd, Shoreline Amphitheater

Guess what? I won a competition on the radio! Check out http://www.927rev.com/ for the BEST music today - all the top 20 hits and hardly any adverts. I'm serious I love love LOVE this techno hiphop beat to dance to, drive to, do housework to, etc.. The prize was 2 tickets plus a "meet and greet" with the stars playing at the Shoreline Amphitheater, Mountainview on September 2nd,2011. I thought that meant meeting (lilwayne) Weezy himself, but apparently that was impossible, and we got to meet Far East Movement ("So What"?) which to me is about as good, and 2 other stars new to me, Lloyd and Kelli Hilson (What time is it? "No Boys Allowed") who were both very fun and gave a great show later on. See this link for 3 photos of me with the stars http://997now.radio.com/2011/09/03/photos-mg-with-loyd-far-east-movement-and-keri-hilson/ My friend Westin Means came with me and we had a blast, never to be forgotten. There were 5 artists performing with the head...

A New Era is Beginning

Well hello anybody out there who steps this way! I am reviving my blog because I have a lot to share these days. We shall see if I can keep it going better. There is a whole lot going on in the world, and also in my little corner of it. The world is quite overwhelming so I mostly just scan the headlines to get the gist and try my best to keep up. On my phone, I currently get breaking news notifications from the BBC and the New York Times (subscriber) at the moment, and the Guardian has a totally free wonderful one minute daily summary called "Got A Minute?" on the phone which pops up as a notification with wry photos and links to full articles if you have more than a minute time to catch up. I trust these sources more than most. On my computer laptop I read email from the Washington Post (subscribed), the NYTimes (subscribed) the Hill about Washington DC goings on. On YouTube I am subscribed to the White House, which allows you to watch pressconferences in full, as well ...

Favorite Restaurants in Berkeley,CA

Berkeley is stuffed with fantastic restaurants, and these are just a few good ones, all near Shattuck and University for lunchtime convenience. 1. Lucky House (Thai and Laotian) - does a fantastic Ginger Tofu Vegetables dish with brown rice for $6!!! 2. Biryani House (Indian) - check out their vegetable biryani and nan bread - you get good portions of food for under $6 but watch out for bits of cinnamon stick etc. in their biryani - makes for mindful eating... 3. People's Cafe (Mediterranean) - does a mean toasted bagel with avocado and also their chicken caesar salad with pita is great. 4. Sushi Ko (Japanese) is great for bento boxes with 2 or 3 choices eg tempura, chicken teriyaki and california roll - you get miso soup, salad and rice with it!
