Snake in the grass …
Hey, can anyone tell me what kind of snake is in my yard. He’s soooooo pretty. He’s been out there all this morning and I think he ate something and was digesting it. And, then after I took these photos, later I found he had moved along.
Labor Day weekend — Louisiana-style!
John and Nina Arico of Zest Catering are hosting a super Dining On Air Party to benefit WSLR 96.5 LPFM radio this coming Saturday, September 5th at 7:00 p.m. I think the restaurant is located in the Gulf Gate area on Superior Ave. The Arico’s are serving up a fabulous New Orleans-themed dinner with yummy […]
Happy Anniversary — MC Reality Online hits one year mark!
Last week on August 25th, this online column cum blog reached its one-year anniversary! I was so crazy-busy last week that I missed the actual anniversary … but I’m celebrating it on Friday night (September 4) under the light of the full Harvest Moon (sounds appropriate, doesn’t it — celebrating at harvest time?). I plan […]
Sarasota News & Books closing … vita sine libris mors est*
*Life without books is death. I don’t pretend to know the business side of running a bookstore/café like Sarasota News & Books, but I do claim to know the emotional side of being one of its patrons. When I moved back to Sarasota five years ago after living in Boston for years, Sarasota News & […]
Gulliver reports on Sarasota doctors leading the push against health reform bill
Very interesting column by Health Reporter, David Gulliver on Sarasota Health News — http://www.sarasotahealthnews.org/articles/2009/08_11_Sarasota_docs_revolt.htm And then blogs about health care … and makes it personal. Pretty powerful stuff. http://www.sarasotahealthnews.org/articles/2009/08_14_Editor_Note.htm
Here’s to your health! Chin, chin. Salut! — but you better have healthcare first!
Tim Sukits, staff writer at Creative Loafing, sent some good info on the health care issue …. I’m a strong proponent of health care reform — in a way that insures that all citizens have access to good, regular, and affordable health care, so I thought I’d share Tim’s message with my reality readers as […]
Le penseur
When I was working in Paris, my favorite museum was the musée de Rodin … August Rodin, the French sculptor. Rodin said that before an artist can create art, he “must be ready to be consumed by the fire of his own creation.” That’s pretty highbrow stuff, and I’m a big fan of the sculpture, […]
Buh-bye to Sarasota’s Main Street!
Buh-bye, C’est la Vie. Buh-bye Pastry Arts. Buh-bye Main Street Hardware. Buh-bye all those great little shops I swing in and out of on my way back and forth from client meetings and gal-pal hang-outs, and other varied and assorted downtown rendezvous. Just color me too cheap to pay for parking. But you can also […]
Show me the guts …
My MONEY magazine subscription came with an article on how to marry a billionaire. I don’t know. Color me new-fashioned, but shouldn’t MONEY be telling me how to make my own money, not latch on to someone because of his? Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not averse to dating men with money. And I’ve […]
